New York City Housing and Vacancy Survey, 1996 |
Keywords: housing Bronx Brooklyn Manhattan Queens Staten Island Principal Investigator(s): New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development Source: Census Summary: The rental vacancy rate is the primary focus of the survey, because it is used to evaluate the current rent control and rent stabilization laws. Other important survey data include rent regulation status, number of stories, number of units in building, number of rooms in unit, type of heating fuel, monthly rent, estimated value, and building condition. The survey also includes information concerning housing and neighborhood quality. Although the main purpose of the survey is to collect housing data, information on the demographic status of the population and households of the City is also collected. Information collected includes age, sex, race, ethnicity, household composition, labor force status, income, employment, and education level. In addition to rent regulation, analysis of the data will provide a basis for planning and policy decisions on housing preservation and development. Availability Restrictions: none. There are four files for each survey year: household, house, person, and non-interview. There is a household record for each occupied housing unit, a house record for each vacant unit and a person record for each person in occupied housing units (households) regardless of age. |
