Subject content: Presents data on housing and household characteristics for the four regions and the United States collected in the biennial American Housing Survey. The report also distinguishes, for the United States as a whole, urban from rural and metropolitan from non-metropolitan statistics.

Tables in the report are organized into 10 chapters. Chapter 1 gives data on the total housing inventory, including vacant units; chapter 2, total occupied housing units; chapter 3, owner-occupied housing units; chapter 4, renter-occupied housing units; chapter 5, occupied housing units with a Black householder; chapter 6, occupied housing units with a householder of Hispanic origin; chapter 7, occupied housing units with an elderly householder; chapter 8, occupied housing units in central cities; chapter 9, occupied housing units in the suburbs; and chapter 10, on occupied housing units outside metropolitan areas.

The report features such characteristics as income of families and primary individuals and monthly housing costs; owner-occupied and renter-occupied units, type of structure (single family, multi-unit, or mobile home) and costs of utilities and fuels; condition of building; additional indicators of housing quality (selected amenities, selected deficiencies); type of primary mortgage, condominium and cooperative fee; and condition and quality of the units and the neighborhood.

Many of the subjects in this report are the same as those collected in the 1980 Census of Housing and the 1973 through 1983 Annual Housing Surveys. However, the 1985 American Housing Survey was completely redesigned to improve the quality of the data, and any comparisons between the 1985 and 1987 surveys and those from 1973 through 1983 should be made with caution.

The American Housing Survey was sponsored by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and conducted by the Bureau of the Census.
