New data released by the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development demonstrate that 20% of recent movers identify “convenience to job” as the single most important factor in their neighborhood choice in 2011. The new data also find that 4% of homes face problems with mold. The survey data are from the American Housing Survey, released in October 2011 (see Memo, 10/19/12). The survey data are now available for the first time on the web-based American FactFinder tool. American FactFinder includes 52 tables from the 2011 American Housing Survey, covering a broad range of housing topics at the national level only. The topics covered include housing problems, vacancy rates, data related to housing moves, health hazards, neighborhood satisfaction, housing costs, household income characteristics and accessibility for persons with disabilities. Data on health, safety and accessibility are new to the survey for 2011.Click here for the new data from the American Housing Survey, accessed on the American FactFinder.
