The AHS is the largest, regular national housing sample survey in the United States. The U.S. Census Bureau conducts the AHS to obtain up-to-date housing statistics for the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The AHS national survey was conducted annually from 1973-1981 and biennially (every two years) since 1983. Metropolitan area surveys have been conducted annually or biennially since 1974.

Abstract

The Kenya National Housing Survey (KNHS) was carried out in 2012 to 2013 in 44 counties of the Republic of Kenya. It was undertaken through the NASSEP (V) sampling frame. The objectives of the 2012/2013 KNHS were to: improve the base of housing statistics and information knowledge, provide a basis for future periodic monitoring of the housing sector, facilitate periodic housing policy review and implementation, assess housing needs and track progress of the National Housing. Production goals as stipulated in the Kenya Vision 2030 and its first and second Medium Term Plan, provide a basis for specific programmatic interventions in the housing sector particularly the basis for subsequent Medium Term frameworks for the Kenya Vision2030; and facilitate reporting on the attainment of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) goals particularly goal 7, target 11.

The 2012/2013 KNHS targeted different players in the housing sector including renters and owner occupiers, housing financiers, home builders/developers, housing regulators and housing professionals. Whereas a census was conducted among regulators and financiers, a sample survey was conducted on renters and owner occupiers, home builders/developers and housing professionals. To cover renters and owner occupiers, the survey was implemented on a representative sample of households - National Sample Survey and Evaluation Program V (NASSEP V) frame which is a household-based sampling frame developed and maintained by KNBS - drawn from 44 counties in the country, in both rural and urban areas. Three counties namely Wajir, Garissa and Mandera were not covered because the household-based sampling frame had not been created in the region by the time of the survey due to insecurity.

Considering that the last Housing Survey was carried out in 1983, it is expected that this report will be a useful source of information to policy makers, academicians and other stakeholders. It is also important to note that this is a basic report and therefore there is room for further research and analysis of various chapters in the report. This, coupled with regularly carrying out surveys, will enrich the data available in the sector which in turn will facilitate planning within the government and the business community.

One of the main challenges faced during the survey process was insufficient information during data collection. This could serve as a wake-up call to all county governments on the need to keep proper records on such issues like the number of housing plans they approve, housing finance institutions within their counties, the number of houses that are built within the county each year and so on since they have the machinery all the way to sub-location level.

Sampling procedure

The sampling frame utilized in the renters and owner occupiers and home builders/ developers was the current National Sample Survey and Evaluation Program V (NASSEP V) frame which is a household based sampling frame developed and maintained by KNBS. During the 2009 population and housing census, each sub-location was subdivided into approximately 96,000 census Enumeration Areas (EAs).

In cognizance of the devolved system of government and the need to have a static system of administrative boundaries, NASSEP V utilizes the county boundaries. The frame was implemented using a multi-tiered structure, in which a set of 4 sub-samples were developed. It is based on the list of EAs from the 2009 Kenya Population and Housing Census. The frame is stratified according to county and further into rural and urban areas. Each of the sub-samples is representative at county and at national (i.e. urban/rural) level and contains 1,340 clusters. NASSEP V was developed using a two-stage stratified cluster sampling format with the first stage involving selection of Primary Sampling Units (PSUs) which were the EAs using Probability Proportional to Size (PPS) method. The second stage involved the selection of households for various surveys.

2012/2013 KNHS utilized all the clusters in C2 sub-sample of the NASSEP V frame excluding Wajir, Garissa and Mandera counties. The target for the household component of the survey was to obtain approximately 19,140 completed household interviews.

Cleaning operations

The survey implemented a Paper and Pencil Interviewer (PAPI) technology administered by trained enumerators while data entry was decentralised to collection teams with a supervisor. Data was keyed from twelve (12) questionnaires namely household based questionnaire for renters, owner occupier and home builders, building financiers such as banks and SACCOs, building professionals such as architects, valuers etc., institutional questionnaires covering Local Authorities, Lands department, Ministry of Housing, National Environmental Management Authority, Physical Planning department and, Water and Sewerage Service providers and housing developers. Each of these questionnaires was keyed individually.

The data processing of the 2012/13 Kenya National Housing Survey results started by developing data capture application for the various questionnaires using CSPro software. Quality of the developed screens was informed by the results derived from 2012/2013 KNHS pilot survey. Every county data collection team had a trained data entry operator and two data analysts were responsible for ensuring data was submitted daily by the trained data entry operators. They also cross-checked the accuracy of submitted data by doing predetermined frequencies of key questions. The data entry operators were informed of detected errors for them to re-enter or ask the data collection team to verify the information.

Data entry was done concurrently with data collection therefore guaranteeing fast detection and correction of errors/inconsistencies. Data capture screens incorporated inbuilt quality control checks triggered in case of invalid entry. Such checks were necessary to guarantee minimal data errors that would be removed during the validation stage (data cleaning).

In data cleaning, a team comprising subject-matter specialists developed editing specifications which were programmed to cross-check raw data for errors and inconsistencies. The printed log file was evaluated with a view to fixing errors and inconsistencies found. Further on, they also developed data tabulation plans to be used on the final datasets and cross checked tabulated outputs were used in writing the survey basic report.

Abstract (en): Characteristics of the United States housing inventory listed in this file include the age, size, and type of living quarters, property values, and the presence of commercial establishments on the property. Additional data focus on the presence and condition of kitchen and plumbing facilities and the type and cost of utilities, as well as housing expenses, property repair or alteration, and insurance costs. Many of the same characteristics are given for housing previously occupied by recent movers. Information on age, sex, race, marital status, and income is provided for each household member, with additional data on education, Spanish origin, and household tenure for the head of household. Indicators provided for housing quality include privacy and structural condition. For neighborhood quality, indicators assess noise, crime, air quality, and the presence of abandoned structures, along with the adequacy of neighborhood services such as police protection, parks, health care, and public transportation. Supplements provide information on second homes, mobility, and energy assistance. The sample of housing units was selected from the 1980 CENSUS OF POPULATION AND HOUSING records and updated by a sample of addresses from building permits to include new construction and conversions. A probability sample of approximately 47,000 housing units nationwide was used.

The National Household Survey (NHS) was conceived to replace the mandatory long-form census questionnaire. The content of the NHS 2011 is similar to the past long-form questionnaire, although some questions and sections have changed. This profile presents information from the 2011 National Household Survey (NHS) for various levels of geography, including provinces and territories, census metropolitan areas/census agglomerations, census divisions, census subdivisions, dissemination areas, federal electoral districts, and forward sortation areas. The forward sortation areas profile was created as a custom tabulation by the University of Toronto, and subsequently shared with Odesi and the DLI. NHS data topics include: Immigration and Ethnocultural Diversity; Aboriginal Peoples; Education and Labour; Mobility and Migration; Language of work; Income and Housing. 2011 Census data topics include: Population and dwelling counts; Age and sex; Families, households and marital status; Structural type of dwelling and collectives; and Language. The Aboriginal Population Profile presents information on the Aboriginal identity population from the 2011 National Household Survey (NHS).

The National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA) series measures the prevalence and correlates of drug use in the United States. The surveys are designed to provide quarterly, as well as annual, estimates. Information is provided on the use of illicit drugs, alcohol, and tobacco among members of United States households aged 12 and older. Questions include age at first use as well as lifetime, annual, and past-month usage for the following drug classes: marijuana, cocaine (and crack), hallucinogens, heroin, inhalants, alcohol, tobacco, and nonmedical use of prescription drugs, including psychotherapeutics. Respondents were also asked about personal and family income sources and amounts, substance abuse treatment history, illegal activities, problems resulting from the use of drugs, need for treatment for drug or alcohol use, criminal record, and needle-sharing. Questions on mental health and access to care, which were introduced in the 1994-B questionnaire (see NATIONAL HOUSEHOLD SURVEY ON DRUG ABUSE, 1994), were retained in this administration of the survey. Also retained was the section on risk/availability of drugs that was reintroduced in 1996, and sections on driving behavior and personal behavior were added (see NATIONAL HOUSEHOLD SURVEY ON DRUG ABUSE, 1996). The 1997 questionnaire (NATIONAL HOUSEHOLD SURVEY ON DRUG ABUSE, 1997) introduced new items that the 1998 NHSDA continued on cigar smoking, people who were present when respondents used marijuana or cocaine for the first time (if applicable), reasons for using these two drugs the first time, reasons for using these two drugs in the past year, reasons for discontinuing use of these two drugs (for lifetime but not past-year users), and reasons respondents never used these two drugs. Both the 1997 and 1998 NHSDAs had a series of questions that were asked only of respondents aged 12 to 17. These items covered a variety of topics that may be associated with substance use and related behaviors, such as exposure to substance abuse prevention and education programs, gang involvement, relationship with parents, and substance use by friends. Demographic data include sex, race, age, ethnicity, marital status, educational level, job status, income level, veteran status, and current household composition. This study has 1 Data Set.

Abstract

The objective of the ENIGH is to provide a statistical overview of the behavior of household income and expenditure in terms of its amount, origin and distribution; it also offers information on the occupational and sociodemographic characteristics of the members of the household, as well as the characteristics of the housing infrastructure and household equipment.

From 1984, when INEGI began to carry out the survey, until today, new methodologies have been developed, international recommendations have been issued and good practices have been documented for the generation of information on household income and expenditure through surveys. During this period, additions have been made to the subject of the survey, methodological updates and innovations in the processes, to obtain results that reflect reality, taking into account international recommendations and the information requirements of the different users. When the adoption of recommendations and good practices implied a break in the comparability of results, it was preferred to maintain historical comparability.

As of 2008, INEGI decided to publish the results of the ENIGH, whose variables have been constructed and presented in accordance with the recommendations of the UN, specifically, those issued at the 17th International Conference of Labor Statisticians and in the Report of the Canberra Group. This new construction is also the one used in the database of the Socioeconomic Conditions Module of the ENIGH, which is the source of information for the multidimensional measurement of poverty carried out by the National Council for the Evaluation of Social Development Policy (CONEVAL).

However, in addition to mentioning and analyzing the international recommendations that were put into practice at ENIGH 2022, this document also relates the background of ENIGH, how it emerged and the significant changes it has undergone since then; the objectives of the survey and the recruitment instruments used are mentioned; likewise, as the main axis, there is the description of income and expenditure, their sources, their correlation and implications, this, as the main indicators of household well-being; another chapter lists the main users of the survey information; and finally, the schemes of the topics, categories and variables used in the ENIGH 2022 are presented.

Periodicity: Since 1992 it has been carried out biennially (every two years) with the exception of 2005 when an extraordinary survey was carried out.

Target population: It is made up of the households of nationals or foreigners, who usually reside in private homes within the national territory.

Selection Unit: Private home. The dwellings are chosen through a meticulous statistical process that guarantees that the results obtained from only a part of the population (sample) can be generalized to the total.

Sampling Frame: The sampling frame used is the multipurpose framework of the INEGI, it is constituted with the demographic and cartographic information obtained from the Population and Housing Census 2010. Effective sample size: 105 525 households Observation unit: The household.

Unit of analysis: The household, the dwelling and the members of the household.

Thematic coverage:

Characteristics of the house. Residents and identification of households in the dwelling. Sociodemographic characteristics of the residents of the dwelling. Home equipment, services. Activity condition and occupational characteristics of household members aged 12 and over. Total current income (monetary and non-monetary) of households. Financial and capital perceptions of households and their members. Current monetary expenditure of households. Financial and capital expenditures of households.

The different concepts of the ENIGH are governed by recommendations agreed upon in international conventions, for example:

The resolutions and reports of the 18 International Conferences on Labour Statistics, of the International Labour Organization (ILO).

The final report and recommendations of the Canberra Group, an expert group on "Household Income Statistics".

Manual of Household Surveys. Department of International Economic and Social Affairs, Bureau of Statistics. United Nations, New York, 1987.

They are also articulated with the System of National Accounts and with the Household Surveys carried out by INEGI.

Sample size: At the national level there are, including the ten, 105,525 private homes.

Workload: According to the meticulousness in the recording of information in this project, a load of six interviews in private homes per dozen has been defined for each interviewer. The number of interviews may decrease or increase according to several factors: non-response, recovery from non-response, or additional households.

Sampling procedure

The design of the subsample for ENIGH-2022 is characterized by being probabilistic; Consequently, the results obtained from the survey are generalized to the entire population of the study domain, in turn it is two-stage, stratified and by clusters, where the ultimate unit of selection is the dwelling and the unit of observation is the household.

The ENIGH-2022 subsample was selected from the 2012 INEGI master sample, this master sample was designed and selected from the 2012 Master Sampling Framework (Marco Maestro de Muestreo (MMM)) which was made up of housing clusters called Primary Sampling Units (PSUs or Unidades Primarias de Muestreo (UPM)), built from the cartographic and demographic information obtained from the 2010 Population and Housing Census. The master sample allows the selection of subsamples for all housing surveys carried out by INEGI; Its design is probabilistic, stratified, single-stage and by clusters, since it is in them that the dwellings that make up the subsamples of the different surveys were selected in a second stage. The design of the MMM was built as follows:

Formation of the primary sampling units (PSUs) First, the set of PSUs that will cover the national territory is built. The primary sampling units are made up of groups of dwellings with differentiated characteristics depending on the area to which they belong, as specified below:

In high urban areas The minimum size of a PSU is 80 inhabited dwellings and the maximum is 160. They can be made up of: · A block · The union of two or more contiguous blocks of the same AGEB. · The union of two or more contiguous blocks of different AGEBs in the same locality. · The union of two or more contiguous blocks of different localities, which belong to the same size of locality.

In urban complement The minimum size of a PSU is 160 inhabited homes and the maximum is 300. They can be made up of: · A block. · The union of two or more contiguous blocks of the same AGEB · The union of two or more contiguous blocks of different AGEBs in the same locality. · The union of two or more contiguous blocks of different AGEBs and localities, but of the same municipality.

In rural areas The minimum size of a PSU is 160 inhabited homes and the maximum is 300. They can be made up of: · An AGEB. · Part of an AGEB. · The union of two or more adjoining AGEBs in the same municipality. · The union of an AGEB with a part of another adjoining AGEB in the same municipality.

In this way, each PSU was classified into a single geographical and a sociodemographic stratum. As a result, a total of 683 strata were obtained throughout the country.

The sample size for the ENIGH 2022 was calculated at the Entity level with urban and rural scope considering the variables and non-response rates mentioned above.

At the Entity level in the urban area, in the case of the variable Quarterly Average Current Income, there is a variation between 31 554.58 and 91 003.53, with a variance that isthe between 609 706 543.70 and 570 110 356 234.59, and a design effect that fluctuates between 1.09 and 4.24.

At the Entity level with a rural environment, the variable Quarterly Average Current Income varies between 14 115.33 and 44 778.03, with a variance that ranges between 156 406 519.01 and 12 108 216 477.28, and a design effect that fluctuates between 1.00 and 9.43. Annex C presents the sample sizes for urban and rural entity areas.

Integrating the sample sizes at the national level, there is a sample size of 105,525 households, which guarantees an error of 4.485% at the national level for the variable average quarterly current income.

Sampling deviation

The ENIGH 2022, were raised in a national sample of 105,525 selected homes.

The sample allows information to be obtained at the national level, with a breakdown for localities of 2,500 and more inhabitants and localities of less than 2,500 inhabitants.
