(b) For the 1993 HVS, the Census Bureau applied an income estimation method
that resulted in household income being reported in some situations where
one or more individuals in the household did not report one or more of seven
types of income. (For information on the seven sources of income, see Housing
New York City 1993, Appendix E: 1993 New York City Housing and Vacancy
Survey Questionnaire.) The Census Bureau is imputing missing income for
the 1996 HVS using basically the same method as that used for the 1990 Census
and the Current Population Survey. The Census Bureau will provide imputed
comparable 1993 and 1996 income data this summer. In the absence of imputed
income data, and to insure complete comparability between 1993 and 1996,
the income data from both surveys presented in this table are estimated
by applying the method the Census Bureau used for the 1993 HVS. However,
caution should be used in interpreting income data from this table, since,
when the process of imputing missing income data is complete, the final
income figures for 1993 and1996 will be different, and the change in income
between 1993and 1996 could also be different. See the accompanying official
letter from the Census Bureau for additional explanation and technical information.
