As Andy mentioned in his reply, the AHS has quite a lot of detailed information about housing quality. We have some on neighborhood conditions. “Foreclosed” is more of an event than a status. If a unit is occupied, it hasn’t been foreclosed on (yet). If it is vacant, we don’t ask how it came to be vacant. We do include foreclosure as one of the responses that recent movers can give as to why they moved.

Do you get into whether the housing is excellent, good, poor, vacant, foreclosed, etc.? Housing conditions can changed drastically depending on the jobs, schools, crime, etc. Correlating housing to jobs, schools, crime, etc. will be more useful for policy’s decision and funding.
