This is a big question for all of the household synthesis tools. One
approach is to use the 2005 housing stock from the parcel data or other
local sources like building permits or utility hookups, to adjust the
2000 marginals. Unfortunately this would imply that socio-demographic
characteristics remain stable from 2000 to 2005. I don't think there is
sufficient post-2000 census data accumulated to do very much better than
this, but would be interested in hearing suggestions.
