American Housing Survey (AHS): Arts and Cultural Events Module Data, [United States], 2015

The American Housing Survey (AHS) is a longitudinal survey sponsored by United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau (Census). It was first conducted annually between 1973 and 1981 and then biennially from 1983 onward. The purpose of the survey is to provide current and continuous series of data on selected housing and demographic characteristics. The AHS collects data on occupied and vacant housing units and the survey is conducted biennially between May and September of odd-numbered years. HUD and Census make the survey data available for public use. To better understand the impact of arts and culture on the United States housing choice, the National Endowment of the Art's Office of Research and Analysis (ORA) worked with HUD and the Census to ask a series of questions in the 2015 AHS. The questions, which form the Arts and Cultural Events Module as a supplement to the core data, were designed to better understand the role of arts and culture in United States households' neighborhood choice, their satisfaction with the arts and cultural activities available in their neighborhood and their perception of the impact of arts and culture on neighborhood economic and community development. For additional information related to the core AHS data, please see ICPSR 36753, American Housing Survey (AHS) - Table Creator. Arts-related variables in the dataset include the importance of living near arts and cultural events, the impact arts and cultural events had on the neighborhood and economy, opportunities for greater interactions, and the encouragement of other people or cultures.

美国住房调查（AHS）是一项由美国住房和城市发展部（HUD）资助并由美国人口普查局（Census）执行的纵向调查。该调查始于1973年至1981年间，每年进行一次，自1983年起改为每两年一次。调查的目的在于提供关于选定住房与人口特征的最新连续数据系列。AHS收集了关于占用和空置住房单位的数据，并定于奇数年份的5月至9月间进行。HUD和Census将调查数据向公众开放。为了更好地理解艺术与文化对美国住房选择的影响，美国国家艺术基金会研究与分析办公室（ORA）与HUD及Census合作，在2015年的AHS中提出了一系列问题。这些问题作为核心数据的补充，构成了艺术与文化活动模块，旨在深入探究艺术与文化在美国家庭社区选择中的作用，他们对所在社区中艺术与文化活动的满意度，以及他们对艺术与文化对社区经济及社区发展影响的认知。有关核心AHS数据的更多信息，请参阅ICPSR 36753，美国住房调查（AHS）- 表格创建者。数据集中的艺术相关变量包括居住在艺术与文化活动附近的重要性、艺术与文化活动对社区和经济的影響、增进互动的机会，以及其他人或文化受到的鼓励。
