  • 1.  Housing Cost Burden at County Level by Race/Ethnicity

    Posted 01-19-2023 11:25 AM

    Hello,

    My guess is I will have to get ipums acs data, but wanted to check in to see if anyone has tried getting the housing cost burden ration by race and ethnicity at a county level?

    Thanks!

    You're correct: the ACS summary files do not have this information, so the PUMS is your best bet. IPUMS-USA has county codes, but if a county you're examining can't be identified in the PUMS data, you can use the CHAS data, a special tabulation of ACS data sponsored by HUD. www.huduser.gov/.../cp.html
