How are the Elderly Housed? New Data from the 1984 Survey of Income and Program Participation
How are the Elderly Housed? New Data from the 1984 Survey of Income and Program Participation
Working Paper Number SIPP-WP-64
Introduction
This paper serves the dual purpose of reporting on the housing characteristics of elderly households of various age groups, and of introducing a new Health-Wealth File from the 1984 Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP). The data are from a merged file of Waves 3 and 4 of the 1984 SIPP. Wave 4, which included interviews with 18,701 households, conducted May through August 1984, included a Topical Module on Housing Costs, Conditions, and Energy Use, in addition to the questions regularly asked at each wave of interviews. These additional questions provide information on financial, structural and quality characteristics. Using the Health-Wealth file, one can examine these housing characteristics in association with the large amount of demographic and economic information contained in the core of the survey and other Topical Modules included in Waves 3 and 4.
