Job categories are aggregations of the detailed projects reported in the AHS: Outside attachments include decks, porches, patios, garages, and carports. Exterior replacements include roofing, siding, windows, and doors. Interior replacements include flooring, paneling, ceiling, and insulation. Systems and equipment replacements include plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and appliances. Lot or yard includes septic tanks; driveways or walkways; fencing or walls; swimming pools, tennis courts, or other recreational structures; sheds, detached garages, or other detached buildings; and landscaping or sprinkler systems (since 2015). Users are cautioned in making comparisons of outside attachments, exterior replacements, and lot or yard improvements before and after 2007, because definitions of these project categories changed modestly beginning in that year. For more information about the changes, see table A-6 in the report data tables. 2013 data tabulations use JCHS-adjusted weights. For more information about the re-weighting methodology, see https://www.jchs.harvard.edu/research-areas/research-notes/re-weighting-number-households-undertaking-home-improvements-2013.
