Special Section: The 1960 Census as a Resource for Urban Planning

The Increased Utility of the 1960 Housing Census for Planning

Pages 40-47 | Published online: 18 Dec 2007
 

Abstract

With the published results of the third decennial census of housing now available, census users will discover a number of changes—in the basic unit of enumeration, the condition classification, small area data, the tabulation program, and subjects covered—which complicate comparisons with previous housing censuses. The rationale behind these changes was a material improvement in the useful-ness of housing census data in planning housing policy and urban renewal programs.

A critical unsolved housing problem for the 1960's is that of the deteriorating central city. Among the increased resources being allocated in this direction, 1960 housing census data have been adapted to provide more effective tools for analysis of the central-city housing problem.
