The US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced their release of 2009 American Housing Survey (AHS).  This is the most comprehensive source of data on the Nation’s housing stock.  It traces characteristics of housing units and their occupants from as early as 1985.  The dataset also includes enhanced samples of five metropolitan areas:  Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, New York, and Northern New Jersey.  For the first time the data includes the disability status of household members.  The information may be downloaded at http://www.huduser.org/portal/datasets/ahs/ahsdata09.html

The American Housing Survey (AHS, formerly Annual Housing Survey) can answer many of your questions about U.S. people and homes.
