1. For the 2011 NYCHVS, a completely new sample was initially selected from the 2010 decennial census and updated for newly created housing units. The 2014 NYCHVS sample was updated for newly created housing units between the 2011 and 2014 surveys. The 2002 NYCHVS sample was selected from the 2000 census and updated for the 2005 and 2008 NYCHVSs.
2. The 2014 NYCHVS and the 2011 NYCHVS were weighted based on the results from the 2010 decennial census, while the 2002, 2005, and 2008 NYCHVSs were all weighted based on results from the 2000 decennial census. Since surveys based on different censuses produce different results (2010 versus 2000), it will be difficult to compare various data from the 2014 and 2011 NYCHVS to the 2008 NYCHVS and earlier years.
The 2014 and 2011 NYCHVS samples were drawn from the 2010 census, while samples for the 2008, 2005, and 2002 NYCHVSs were drawn from the 2000 census. Both samples from the 2000’s and 2010’s were updated for new construction, alterations, and conversions. The weighting for the 2011 and 2014 NYCHVSs were benchmarked to the 2010 census, while the weighting for the NYCHVSs conducted in the 2000s were benchmarked to the 2000 decennial census. With these differences in mind, it will be very difficult to compare data from the 2014 NYCHVS with earlier surveys.
