Transfer Records*

just samples. Both original file formats are in fixed length text file
format (.txt and .sal extension).

5. 1995
Housing Survey in Franklin County   
For Franklin county for 1995 the matched
buyer-seller data set contains 2420 cases.
A survey was sent to 1600 of those (all cases in the suburbs and a random
sample of those in the central city). Received
835 usable surveys in return. Tests
indicate that the survey returns without weighting represent the houses sold by
geography and price class. They
slightly overrepresent higher priced homes in the home purchased categories.
The survey has been combined with the matched property data from the deed
transfer records. Original file is available in SAS format and has been
geocoded by XY coordinates in State Plane 1983, Ohio South projection.

Housing Survey for Franklin County
  
(prior-Sept 11)
In late summer 2001, a
mail survey of a random sample of 2600 homeowners in Franklin county, Ohio, the
central county of the Columbus metropolitan area was conducted. Samples
were drawn from the auditor's records. "Homeownership" is determined
by land use codes, site and mortgage mailing addresses in those records. The
survey asked questions about housing/neighborhood satisfaction and desires,
mobility and remodeling plans, and demographic characteristics of the household.
A subset of surveys contains conjoint
questions asking people to select between housing options within a budget
constraint. 1257 survey cases were returned (48% response rate).
Original file is in Excel format.

9. 2001
Housing Survey for Franklin County
  
(post-Sept 11)
The
post-September 11 survey was completed and mailed in November 2001 to a new
random sample of 1,940 homeowners from the same geographic area in Franklin
county, Ohio. The final version of the collected data became available for
analysis in February 2002 with a total of 803 returned surveys (41% response
rate). It
not only has the similar questions as the prior one but also asking people's
opinion about impact of Sept 11 attacks on their home ownership decisions in
order to study the possible effects of the terrorist attack on people's views
of their homes, neighborhoods, and communities in a geographic region that was
not directly affected by the attacks on September 11th. The goal of this
follow-up survey was to gather data that would permit an examination of the
possible differences between the answers given immediately before the attack and
those within a month or two after the attack. Analysis
to date has included univariate comparisons between pre- and post- attack
variables and multivariate analyses using discrete choice conjoint methods to
analyze respondent's preferences for combinations of housing features. This
study looks at the immediate impact of the terrorist attacks on people's
satisfaction and plans.
