On Thursday of this week (4/12/2012), not having seen a definitive answer
to my question, I telephoned the Census Bureau. The individual with whom I
spoke told me she would contact the "History" staff. She came back and
informed me that she was told that the 1940 Census Housing Schedule was
destroyed in 1950. I find it interesting that the Housing schedule form is
available for viewing / printing. At least we are able to see what sort of
questions were asked. It is my further understanding that the Housing schedule
was not filled out for every household -- only a sampling.

I did receive an e-mail reply >from an individual who stated that he thought
the Housing schedule was completed on only 5% of households.
