Abstract:
The American Housing Survey (AHS) is a longitudinal survey that provides a periodic measure of the size and composition of the country's housing inventory. Like the previous surveys, the 2013 AHS will collect data on subjects such as the amount and types of changes in the inventory, the physical condition of the inventory, the characteristics of the occupants, housing costs, the persons eligible for and beneficiaries of assisted housing, and the number and characteristics of vacancies. A supplemental sample of housing units will be selected for approximately 25 metropolitan areas. The supplemental sample will be combined with existing sample in these areas in order to produce metropolitan estimates.

Short Statement:
This is a revision of a currently approved collection. The sample is smaller than it was in 2011. We do not expect the respondent burden to change significantly, as the survey has been designed to maintain 2011's average length of interview of 45 minutes. We will preserve the same interview length in the following ways: a. The Home Accessibility and Housing Modifications modules have been removed. b. The rotating modules will be split among the test and control groups, thereby maximizing the number of rotating modules that can be included while no increasing overall response burden. The split will be: 1. Control group: Public Transportation and Pedestrian Accessibility, Disaster Planning, and Doubled-Up Households 2. Test group: Neighborhood Observation, Neighborhood Social Capital, and Doubled-Up Households
