I. Abstract
The Census Bureau plans to request
clearance from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for the
collection of data concerning the
Housing Vacancy Survey (HVS) to be
conducted in conjunction with the
Current Population Survey (CPS). The
Census Bureau sponsors the HVS,
which collects data from a sample of
vacant housing units identified in the
monthly CPS sample. The current
clearance expires June 30, 2020.
Collection of the HVS in conjunction
with the Current Population Survey
began in 1956, and serves a broad array
of data users. The HVS provides the
only quarterly statistics on rental
vacancy rates and homeownership rates
for the United States, the four census
regions, the 50 states and the District of
Columbia, and the 75 largest
metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs).
Private and public sector organizations
use these rates extensively to gauge and
analyze the housing market with regard
to supply, cost, and affordability at
various points in time.
Policy analysts, program managers,
budget analysts, and congressional staff
use these data to advise the executive
and legislative branches of government
with respect to the number and
characteristics of units available for
occupancy and the suitability of
housing initiatives. These data are a
component of consumer expenditure
statistics. They also are used to project
mortgage demand and to measure the
adequacy of the supply of rental and
homeowner units. In addition,
investment firms use the HVS data to
analyze market trends and for economic
forecasting.
II. Method of Collection
The HVS is collected by both personal
visit and telephone interviews in
conjunction with the CPS interviewing.
The Census Bureau conducts HVS
interviews using computer-assisted
interviewing with landlords or other
knowledgeable people concerning
vacant housing units identified in the
monthly CPS sample and meeting
certain criteria.
