2004–2012 National Health Interview Survey–Housing and Urban Development (NHIS-HUD) Linked Files, Sample Adults and Sample Children that are enrolled in HUD on the date of interview. There are 7,711 observations using the most restrictive denominator, 7,738 observation when do not know rental assistance is considered a false-negative report, and 8,052 observations when non-renters are added as false-negative negative report, and 8,052 observations when non-renters are reports. Confidence intervals based on linearized standard errors that account for the sample design.
