Housing Value, Costs, and Measures of Physical Adequacy: Motivation
• HUD’s mission includes creating quality affordable homes for all.
• Need to identify units failing a qualify test (avoid sacrificing quality to achieve affordability).
• Need a definition of inadequacy.
• Standard AHS-based definitions exist, indicating physical inadequacy a relatively small problem.
• Many different approaches possible with AHS data & standard definitions have been in place for decades—time to revisit & consider alternatives.

Housing Value, Costs, and Measures of Physical Adequacy: Strategy
• Use 2009 AHS to develop baseline statistical models that explain value / rent.
• Hypothesis: Inadequacy should have depressing effect on value / rent, controlling for other factors.
• Develop a new definition of inadequacy consistent with the hypothesis.
• Compare new & traditional definitions of inadequacy.
• Use AHS data to look at numbers / characteristics of inadequate units.

Housing Value, Costs, and Measures of Physical Adequacy: Summary
• Models that estimate value / rent developed using AHS.
• New definition of inadequacy proposed that performs better than traditional definition in models.
• More units than previously thought may be inadequate—especially single‐family.
• Inadequate units tend to be old, have disproportionate share of unmarried households with children.
• Many non-seasonal single-family homes are inadequate.
• Many sections of AHS used in this analysis.

Housing Value, Costs, and Measures of Physical Adequacy: Sections of AHS Used
• Sample status, allocation variables (to screen data)
• Housing value / costs
• Geography / climate
• Housing unit characteristics
• Neighborhood characteristics
• Multifamily building characteristics
• Quality indicators
• Utilities / heating equipment
• Income (household and area)
• Household composition
• Conclusion: Many sections of the AHS have practical utility.
