This stability provided reassurance that we could calculate an average rate for each age cohort from across the five AHS periods (., 1995, 1997, 1999, 2001, and 2003). We then applied these calculated rates to the Census population projections. The result is a reasonable set of projections for the number of householders, within each age group, through 2030. One of our research goals was to extend this to projections of tenure status (., owning vs. renting) for each age group. In order to do this, we used a method similar to that used to calculate the.
