Data sources

The housing authorities

The schedules are published by the housing authorities themselves. Every amount in the dataset comes from an authority’s own document and links to the page it is printed on. The source documents are public documents of their publishers. They are included as published, and their publishers keep their rights.

HUD, Picture of Subsidized Households 2025

Voucher counts for each authority, and from them the shares of vouchers on this site. Published by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development on its HUD USER site.
