Commercial Housing Data Requirements

The U.S. Census Bureau is conducting market research to identify potential sources capable of providing commercial housing data. The data should include information on housing units and buildings in the United States, such as assessed value, mortgage information, and listing activity. The Census Bureau is seeking information on how vendors can provide existing datasets, best practices for acquiring commercial housing data, and recommendations for achieving benefits in accordance with federal requirements. Some key points to consider include: • Dataset coverage, content, and sources • Data update frequency and refresh flexibility • Technical integration and data delivery/access methods • Use cases and pricing considerations • Draft statement of work feedback and sample data files
