Hi all
I’m looking for housing costs as percent of household income, by race and ethnicity, at the state or county level, NYS.
S0201 has these rows
SELECTED MONTHLY OWNER COSTS AS A PERCENTAGE OF HOUSEHOLD INCOME IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS Housing units with a mortgage (excluding units where SMOC cannot be computed) Less than 30 percent 30 percent or more
At some point in the past, around 2015, I thought this table had data by race and ethnicity, but now it doesn’t. Is it possible that either I got the wrong table, or that the table changed? Another table, b25070, is gross rent as percent of household income. Again, at some point in the past, around 2015, I thought this table also had data by race and ethnicity, but now it doesn’t. Is it possible that either I got the wrong table, or that the table changed?
Thanks
Gene
Dear Gene,
You might check out the American Housing Survey PUF data. I don't know if it has the geographies that you need. https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/ahs/data/2021/ahs-2021-public-use-file…
Hi Gene, if you haven't heard of the HUD CHAS (US Housing and Urban Development/ Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy) )data, there's more info here: CHAS: Background | HUD USER
It's a special…
I would take Tina's suggestion and check out the HUD custom tabulations. I am aware of them but I didn't think of that. I don't know what geographies they have but I'm sure they have…
It's a special run of the ACS data done by HUD, it usually lags behind release of standard ACS, (latest release is from the 2015-2019 ACS) but has the detailed data by race/ethnicity that you are interested in.
The query tool is pretty easy to use and is available at many geographic levels including state and county here:
Consolidated Planning/CHAS Data | HUD USER
It breaks out housing costs by race/ethnicity, by renter and owner and more. Hope it helps!

Hi Tina. Thanks very much. This looks interesting. Does this have data by race and ethnicity? It looks like it's just totals for the state.
Thanks.
Gene.
I would take Tina's suggestion and check out the HUD custom tabulations. I am aware of them but I didn't think of that. I don't know what geographies they have but I'm sure they have states and maybe counties.

I can't find the custom tabulations that HUD has requested. Try emailing ASCO
acso.users.support@census.gov
I just looked at the HUD website page https://www.huduser.gov/portal/datasets/cp.html
and they seem to say that the most recent data does not have the race/ethnic breakdown. That put you back to using PUMA level data and the SPM micro data.
