  • 1.  Big changes for American Housing Survey (AHS)

    Posted 05-20-2025 01:30 AM

    Looks like there are some big changes coming for AHS. Were these planned or is this new?

    The announcement reads:

    "Due to rising field costs and declining response rates, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is shifting to a continuous data collection model for the American Housing Survey (AHS), moving away from the previous periodic collection every other year that lasted 5 months...

    ...Data collection was initially planned to begin May 1, 2025, but now will be delayed until January 2026 or later."

    This Census Bureau website from September 2024 indicates that AHS was moving to continuous data collection. Here is the FRN from December 11, 2024, about the change.
