Gregory J. Watson

This article reflects the views of the authors and does not necessarily reflect the views of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.


The American Housing Survey (AHS) is the preeminent source of housing characteristic information for the U.S. housing stock.

This article describes the general strategy used for weighting and then adds notes for researchers who use the AHS.
