"The data for 1960 and earlier years are from the 1960 U.S. Census of Housing, except where otherwise indicated. These are the most recent data available since the housing censuses are taken at 10-year intervals. Although the data are several years old, they are basic in portraying current housing conditions. About 80 to 90 percent of the housing that will be reported on in 1970 has already been included in the 1960 Census. Statistics on housing improvements since 1960 are mainly from annual reports made by various Federal agencies which make loans for housing improvement."
