Title
Extensions to Estimated Housing Authority Service Areas Methodology [United States]
Description
The data provided here denotes the authors’ revised service areas for a subset of 377 Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) for which HUD previously estimated service areas. Using HUD administrative data on the location of Housing Choice Voucher holders, HUD’s estimated service areas were revised to better capture voucher activity. Specifically, the authors developed two different tests and correction procedures. The first assesses if the estimated service area omits a sizable share of voucher holder locations (so is “too small”), and if so, adjusts to include census designated places or counties containing at least 5 percent of a PHA’s voucher holders. The second test checks whether the estimated service boundary includes areas the PHA does not appear to serve and that are clearly served by another PHA (so is “too large”), in this case adjusting by removing those areas. 148 of the 377 PHA estimated service areas were found to be too small, too large, or both, and so have revised service areas that differ from HUD’s estimated service areas. The detailed methodology is provided below. Additionally, a spreadsheet is supplied that identifies geographies that were added to and dropped from HUD’s estimated services to create the revised service areas for affected PHAs. This is an experimental dataset that is designed to aid researchers in studying the HCV program. The methodology and the service areas themselves have not been validated by HUD’s Office of Public and Indian Housing (PIH) or the Public Housing Agencies. For additional discussion of the approach, see Tauber et al. (2024); please contact the authors with any questions or comments.
