In collaboration with the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), the U.S. Census Bureau’s Center for Behavioral Science Methods (CBSM) conducted 36 cognitive interviews in English and Spanish during a first round of cognitive testing for the New York City Housing and Vacancy Survey (NYCHVS). This round was conducted in July and August of 2019 to test new and revised content across several pre-existing modules, including modules on housing quality, residential history, and utilities. Testing also compared two versions of a module on sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI). In addition to testing content, goals for revision of the NYCHVS include adapting the instrument from an interviewer-administered paper survey to the CAPI mode, as well as providing support in additional languages. The purpose of this report is to document findings and recommendations from the first round of testing conducted with 22 English-speaking respondents and 14 Spanish-speaking respondents.
