2007 to Present
Slide2A Brief History of the LIRA and User Notes
F
irst
developed in
2007, the LIRA was originally benchmarked to the Census Bureau’s quarterly Construction Spending (C-50) series of home improvements and maintenance/repairs to owner-occupied units.
http://
www.jchs.harvard.edu/sites/default/files/n07-1_bendimerad_0.pdf
In 2008, the C-50 was discontinued, and the LIRA was re-benchmarked to
the Census Bureau’s
monthly C-30 series of home improvement spending to owner-occupied units (maintenance spending was no longer available).
http://
www.jchs.harvard.edu/sites/default/files/n08-1_will_0.pdf
In 2016, the LIRA was again re-benchmarked to historical estimates of home improvement and maintenance/repair spending based on data from HUD’s biennial American Housing Survey.
