B u lletin 7\io. 693 o f the U n ited States B u rea u o f L abor Statistics Building Construction, 1940 Introduction As early as 1920 the Bureau of Labor Statistics began collecting dafa on building permits, but until the end of 1932 only cities in the population class 25,000 and over reported. In January 1933 the coverage was extended to include cities having a population of 10,000 or more, and again in 1936 the sample was enlarged to cover cities with 2,500 or more inhabitants. Since January 1938 reports have been received from places having a population of 1,000 or more. Building-permit data are collected by the Bureau directly from local building officials except in the States of Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York,. North Carolina, and Pennsylvania, where State departments of labor collect and forward the data to the Bureau. In addition, the Bureau receives notifications of the value of construc tion contracts awarded by Federal and State* Governments. The permit-valuation figures represent estimates of construction costs made by prospective builders when applying for permits to build, in the case of privately financed construction, and the value of con tracts awarded, in the case of construction financed with Federal or State funds. No land costs are included. Except where otherwise noted, only building construction within the corporate limits of the reporting cities is included. For the period 1920 to 1928, inclusive, building-permit reports were compiled and published at yearly intervals. In September 1929 the Bureau began publishing a monthly pamphlet entitled “ Building Construction,” in which the quantity and value of building construc tion in the cities sending in reports of permits issued in the current month are compared with the amounts reported by the same cities in the preceding month and in the corresponding month of the previous year. The present bulletin, which is a revision and continuation of infor mation on construction activity published in Bulletin No. 668 of the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, is divided into two parts. Part I outlines major trends in building construction during the period from 1921 through 1940. It is composed of two sections. The first, which deals with all types of building construction, is based on permits 1 2 BUILDING CONSTRUCTION, 1940 issued in 257 cities which have reported each year since 1921. The second section, which is confined to new housekeeping residential con struction, contains estimates of the amount of such construction throughout the entire nonfarm area of the United States. Part II, which is also divided into two sections, presents more detailed information on construction in 1939 and 1940. The first section analyzes building construction in 2,397 cities with populations of 1,000 or more which reported to the Bureau in both 1939 and 1940. The second section contains tabulations of the amount of construction financed from public funds. Its coverage is broader than the previous sections in two respects: it includes other types of construction as well as building construction, and it also includes construction outside corporate limits. Figures for Federally financed construction «re complete, but those for construction financed from State funds cover only two types of construction— public buildings and highways. A tabulation is also presented showing the value of street-paving work started in 51 of the larger cities in the United States. Whatever publicly financed building construction was located within the cor porate limits of the reporting cities has also been included in the tabulations in other sections of this bulletin. Part I General Trends in Building Construction 3 Building Construction in 257 Cities, 1921 to 1940 Summary for A ll Building Construction New building was undertaken on a wider scale during 1940 than in any year since 1929. This comparison, which is presented in table 1 and in the chart on page 6, is based on records of permit valuations in 257 cities1which have reported to the Bureau since 1921. Although almost 5 times as much building was started in 1940 as in the low year of 1933, the 1940 permit valuations were below those for any year from 1921 through 1929. The building-construction industry has experienced severe cyclical fluctuations during the past 2 decades, which are reflected in the indexes of permit valuations in table 1. (These indexes have been revised and computed on a new base, the average permit valuations during the 5 years from 1935 through 1939 being equal to 100.) Dur ing the peak year, 1925, the index reached 364. Sharp drops occurred each year thereafter until 1933, when the index fell to 35. Permit valuations remained at approximately that level through 1934. The improvement which began the following year has continued, so that by 1940 the index of permit valuations had risen to 159.

In the 6 years from 1930 through 1935, however, permit valuations for residential con struction fell below those for new nonresidential buildings, and in 1933 and 1934, below those for additions, alterations, and repairs. Consequently, the fluctuations in new residential building since 1921 have been much more severe than those in either of the other classes of construction shown in table 1. At its peak in 1925, the residential index stood at 481. In that single year expenditures for new homes, as measured by permit valuations, were almost equal to the total for the entire 5 years of the base period, i. e., 1935 to 1939. The drops from the peak each year were abrupt, so that by 1932 the index for new residential construction had fallen to 21. The downward trend continued for the next 2 years, the index reaching its low point of 16 in 1934. The rise which began the next year has continued, and in 1940 residential permit valuations were 10 times as great as in 1934. Estimated expenditures in 1940 were still only one-third of the 1925 peak, however. The index for new nonresidential construction, with extremes of 346 in 1925 and 49 in 1933, followed a cyclical pattern similar to that for new residential construction. Although the upswing in non residential construction began a year before that in residential build ing, it was interrupted in 1938. The unusually large contracts awarded for industrial buildings in connection with the national defense pro gram in the latter half of 1940 shifted the emphasis in building con struction. The nonresidential index jumped to 191 in 1940, while that for residential construction rose to only 161. The index for additions, alterations, and repairs differed from the indexes for both classes of new construction in the amplitude of the fluctuations and in the years in which the extremes occurred. The peak of 150 occurred in 1929, when new construction was in its fourth year of successive declines In the following 3 years the index for additions, alterations, and repairs dropped to 44, and then turned upward in 1933, 2 years ahead of that for new residential construction. Since 1938, however, valuations for additions, alterations, and repairs have lagged far behind those for new construction, the index being only 104 in 1940. Permit Valuations, Building-Material Prices, Wage Rates, and Rents Fluctuations in permit valuations over the past 2 decades are compared in table 2 with changes in the Bureau’s indexes of wholesale prices of building materials, union wage rates, and residential rents. 8 BUILDING CONSTRUCTION, 1 9 4 0 In this comparison it should be borne in mind that the latter three indexes reflect only changes in costs per unit, while those for permit valuations reflect changes in volume as well as in unit costs. For that reason fluctuations in the indexes of permit valuations are greater than those in any of the other three. Residential rents followed approximately the same cycle as permit valuations for new residential construction. Along with permit valuations, rents rose steadily from 1921 until 1925. The downward trend which began in the following year continued through 1935, with the upturn coming a year later than that in construction. Although the rental index has risen each year since 1936, the level of rents in 1940 was well below that in any year prior to 1933. The index of wholesale prices of building materials reached its peak of 121 in 1923, and the decline beginning in 1924 continued through 1932, except for a slight increase in 1929. Although in general the trend in building-material prices has been upward since 1932, the rise has not been continuous. In 1940 the index approached the level of the last half of the twenties. The trend in union wage rates in the building trades was upward from 1921 through 1931. A sharp drop occurred in 1932 and a smaller drop in the following year.

GENERAL TRENDS IN BUILDING CONSTRUCTION 9 Five Leading Cities The 5 cities with the largest permit valuations accounted for almost one-third of the total reported by the 257 cities in 1940. Throughout the 20-year period shown in table 3, the cities which have had the highest permit valuations have changed little. The following list of 10 contains all the cities ranking among the top 5 in the past 2 decades: New York, Chicago, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Detroit, Philadelphia, Washington, San Francisco, St. Louis, and Boston. Philadelphia appeared among the leaders in 1940 for the first time since 1933, displacing Chicago, which had been on the list every year since 1934. Of the 4 cities which were at the top in both 1939 and 1940, Los Angeles and Detroit had the largest increases, New York City showing only a slight increase, and Washington, a 10-percent loss.

Permits were issued for over 10 times as many units in 1940 as in 1934, when residential construction in these cities was at its lowest. The number of new dwelling units started each year since 1921 has been related to the estimated growth in the population of the 257 cities. Since the population figures in table 4 have been estimated for every year except 1930 and 1940, the resulting ratios of new dwell ing units to population are only approximations for all except these years. In the best year, 1925, about 120 new family-dwelling units were erected for each 10,000 of the population. Less than 6 new units were provided per 10,000 persons from 1932 through 1934. Although new housing facilities have increased each year since then, the 1940 rate of 47 units per 10,000 was below that in any year in the 1920’s. Because each of the past 3 censuses has shown increases in the total number of persons living in the 257 cities, an equal number of new units represented a smaller addition in relation to population in 1940 than in earlier years. For example, although the 221,449 new units in 1940 were within 2 percent of the number built in 1921, the index of new dwelling units adjusted for population (shown in the last column of table 4) dropped from 215 in 1921 to 169 in 1940. Over 63 percent of the new dwelling units provided in the 257 cities in 1940 were of the single-family type. Although this percentage was unusually high as compared with those for most other years shown in table 5 and in the chart on page 13, the preference over the GENERAL TRENDS IN BUILDING CONSTRUCTION 11 20-year period in these cities has been for one-family houses, rather than two-family houses or apartments houses. (It will be recalled that all of these cities were in the population class 25,000 and over.) From 1926 through 1929, however, apartment-house construction predominated, more new units being built in multifamily structures in 1928 than in single-family and two-family houses combined.

Fewer units were constructed in two-family houses than in apart ment houses throughout the 20 years for which the comparison can be made. When the construction of two-family units was at its maximum (during 1923 and 1924) only 21 percent of all new dwelling units were in such structures. In 1936 and 1938 less than 5 percent of all units were in two-family houses. Similar information on types of dwellings in the 257 cities is given by population classes in table 6. In general, the proportion of new dwelling units in multifamily structures decreased directly with the size of the city. The construction of two-family structures increased in each population group in 1939 and 1940, while units in apartment houses were declining in relative importance. 827851°— 41------ 2 12 T able BUILDING CONSTRUCTION, 1940 5 . — Distribution of new dwelling units in 257 identical cities , by type of dwelling, 1921 to 194-0 [Revised] Number of new dwelling units Year Percentage of all new dwelling units in— Multi All types 1-family 2-family Multi 1-family 2-family family of family dwellings dwellings dwellings1dwellings2 dwellings dwellings1dwellings2 1921_____________ ________ — 1922____________ _____ ______ 1923______________________ 1924________________________ 1925__________________ ____ - 224. 545 377,305 453, 673 442,096 491,032 130,873 179,364 207, 632 209,578 225, 222 38, 858 80, 252 96, 444 94, 717 86,133 54,814 117,689 149, 597 137,801 179,677 58.3 47.5 45.8 47.4 45.9 17.3 21.3 21.2 21.4 17.5 24.4 31. 2 33.0 31. 2 36.6 1926....... ........... ...................... . 1927____ ______ _____________ 1928_________ _______________ 1929_______________________ 1930_____________________ _ 462, 208 406,095 388,678 244, 394 125, 315 188,074 155, 512 136,907 98,164 57, 311 64,131 54,320 43,098 27, 512 15,145 210,003 196, 263 208,673 118, 718 52,859 40.7 38.3 35.2 40.2 45.7 13.9 13.4 11.1 11.2 12.1 45.4 48.3 53.7 48.6 42.2 1931........... ........... ................... 1932___________ _______ _____ 1933..................... ................... 1934________________________ 1935_____ __________________ 98,158 27,380 25,885 20,952 55,490 48, 310 19, 524 14, 443 12,570 31,021 11, 310 3,400 2,128 1,446 3,008 38,538 4,456 9,314 6,936 21,461 49.2 71.3 55.8 60.0 55.9 11.5 12.4 8.2 6.9 5.4 39.3 16.3 36.0 33.1 38.7 1936________________________ 1937______________ __________ 1938................ .................... 1939___________ _____ _______ 1940_________ ______ ________ 113, 646 117, 307 157,008 203, 392 221, 449 59,099 66, 238 78, 582 117,693 140,773 5, 261 7,316 7, 759 16, 302 21,458 49, 286 43, 753 70,667 69,397 59,218 52.0 56.5 50.1 57.8 63.6 4.6 8.2 4.9 8.1 9.7 43.4 37.3 45.0 34.1 26.7 1Includes 1- and 2-family dwellings with stores. 2Includes multifamily dwellings with stores.

Washington, D . O., however, has GENERAL TRENDS IN BUILDING CONSTRUCTION 15 The average permit valuation per new dwelling unit of $3,562 in 1940 was the lowest recorded in any year from 1921 through 1940 except 1933, when the average was $3,495. The averages in table 7 do not represent fluctuations in the cost of building identical units of housing, but show fluctuations in the estimated costs of those units for which permits were issued. In general, single-family dwelling units were the most costly, the average permit valuation per unit of this type of dwelling being $3,891 in 1940, as compared with $2,757 per unit in two-family, and $3,073 per unit in multifamily structures. Exceptions to this generali zation occurred in 1921 and 1924, when units in multifamily buildings had higher average permit valuations than single-family dwellings. In the latter year the average for units in two-family dwellings also exceeded that for single-family dwellings. The average permit valuation of one-family dwellings fluctuated less between 1921 and 1940 than the averages for units in other types of dwellings. T o expedite the comparison, the averages for each type of dwelling have been converted to indexes, with the years 1935 through 1939 as the base period. The range in the index for onefamily dwellings was between 92 in 1933 and 119 in 1930. The index for multifamily structures varied between 79 in 1934 and 128 in 1924 and 1929. Least steady was the index for two-family dwellings, for which the low point was 93 in 1940 and the high point, 150 in 1926. The occurrence of the high and low points for the three types of dwelling units in different years is explained in part by a fact already mentioned, namely, that these indexes are not in any sense measures of the cost of building identical units over a period of years. In addition to reflecting changes in building costs, the indexes of aver age permit valuations reflect other differences, such as variations in the size, quality, and location of the units built each year. For example, the indexes for each of the three types of dwelling units were comparatively low in 1940. A partial explanation is that on the large number of houses which the Federal Government started to build for defense workers in the latter half of 1940 2 the average unit cost, as fixed by law, was lower than the average permit valua tion in table 7 for all types of dwellings.3 2See also p. 19. 3 The index for all types of dwellings in table 7 is based on the average permit valuation for all types of dwellings shown in the first column, which was obtained by dividing total permit valuations by tne total number of dwelling units. It therefore reflects the varying proportions of the different types of dwellings for which permits were issued in each year. In 1940 the index for all types of dwellings was higher than that for any of the three component types of dwelling units because one-family dwellings, which had the highest average permit valuation, formed an exceptionally high proportion of the total dwelling units in 1940. On the other hand, in 1928, when the index for “ all types” was lower than the index for any of the three types, one-family dwellings represented a smaller proportion of the total than in any other year. 16 BUILDING CONSTRUCTION, 1 9 4 0 T a b l e 7 .— Perm it valuation per new dwelling unit in 257 identical cities , 1921 to 1940 [Revised.

Estimated New Dwelling Units in Nonfarm Areas In addition to publishing the number of dwelling units for which permits were issued in the sample of reporting cities, the Bureau uses the building-permit reports as the basis for estimating the number of new dwelling units in the entire nonfarm area of the United States. The Bureau’s estimates, which were started in 1936, are a continuation of the series established by the N ational Bureau of Economic Research, which also based its work on building-permit data. The combined series covering the period since 1920 are shown in table 8. The “ nonfarm area” of the United States can, in general, be defined as consisting of all urban and rural nonfarm places. The “ urban” group includes all incorporated places with a population of 2,500 or more and also a small group of towns specially classified as urban by the census. Incorporated places of less than 2,500 population, as well as unincorporated areas excluding farms, are designated as “ rural nonfarm.” These classifications, and also the population groupings in tables 9 and 12, are based upon the 1930 Census of Population. Washington, D. C., however, has been included with cities in the group 500,000 and over. 17 GENERAL TRENDS IN BUILDING CONSTRUCTION N ew D w elling Units, 1920 to 1940 Since 1934 an increasing number of new dwelling units has been built in the nonfarm area each year, the estimated 540,000 units in 1940 being the maximum in any year since 1928, when the total was 753,000. Ten times as many units were built in 1940 as in 1933, when new residential construction in the entire nonfarm area was at its lowest. Although the 1940 estimate was more than twice the annual average of 220,000 units in the preceding decade, it fell short of the average of 703,000 for the decade of the 1920’s. By far the greatest recovery in residential construction since 1933 has been in one-family units. While the 1940 estimate of 425,000 new single-family houses was less than 3 percent below the 1928 figure of 436,000, the estimated number of units in two-family struc tures was less than half the 1928 total, and the number of units erected in multifamily buildings was less than a third of the 1928 estimate. In each year of the period since 1920 more of the units built in the nonfarm area have been of the one-family type than of the two-family and multifamily types combined.

For all types of dwellings combined there was a net gain of 16 percent. The rural nonfarm area and all urban population groups shown in table 9, except that comprising the largest cities, contributed to the increase in new dwelling units between 1939 and 1940. Although the largest cities also gained in the number of units in one-family and two-family structures, the 21-percent drop in units in multifamily buildings more than offset these gains. The most significant decrease in apartment-house construction was in New York City, where permits were issued for privately financed apartment buildings to accommodate only 19,835 families in 1940, or 9,478 fewer than in 1939. New housing increased proportionately more in the rural nonfarm than in the total urban area between 1939 and 1940, the increases being 25 and 13 percent, respectively. The greatest relative change among the 7 population groups comprising the urban area was in cities of 10,000 to 25,000, where there was a 25-percent rise.

The increase in new dwelling units between 1939 and 1940 was spread over all geographic divisions shown in table 10 except the Middle Atlantic States, where the 11-percent decrease was attributable to a drop in multifamily units. As a result of this decrease, the Middle Atlantic Division dropped from first place in the number of new dwelling units in 1939 to fourth place in 1940, being surpassed by the Pacific, South Atlantic, and East North Central Divisions. Although the South Atlantic Division showed the greatest proportionate gain over 1939 (31 percent), the Pacific Division accounted for the largest number of new units in 1940. 19 GENERAL TRENDS IN BUILDING CONSTRUCTION T able 10.— N u m b er o f n ew dw elling u n its in n o n fa rm areas, b y geographic d ivision and typ e o f dw elling, 1 9 S 9 and 19J+0 All types 1-family 2-family1 Multifamily8 Geographic division 1940 1939 1940 1939 1940 1939 1940 1939 540,000 +16.1 465,000 425,103 +20.9 351,641 36,865 +33.3 27,655 78,032 -9 .0 85,704 25,867 New England....................... 82,823 Middle Atlantic.................

Comparison by Source o f Funds, 1939 and 1940 Residential developments financed from public funds have been an increasingly important source of new housing accommodations. In 1940 contracts were awarded for public housing projects with a capacity of 73,533 dwelling units, or 30 percent more than in 1939. The comparable increase in the number of units built with private capital4 was only 14 percent. The United States Housing Authority, which has been the most important agency in the public housing field, builds no homes but lends money to local housing authorities and aids with subsidies. The U. S. H. A. was created primarily to supply low-rent housing for families previously able to afford only substandard accommodations. As a national-defense measure, Congress in June 1940 authorized the U. S. H. A. to use its regular funds to provide homes in areas where defense needs were urgent.6 Threats of delay in the nationaldefense program arising from housing shortages in vital areas prompted Congress in August and October 1940 to make further provision for emergency housing.6 The results of the emergency housing measures 7are clearly apparent in table 11, which shows new housing started in each quarter of 1939 and 1940. In the last quarter of 1940 contracts were awarded for almost twice as many units in public projects as in the preceding 3 months. Privately financed housing, however, showed its customary seasonal decline in the fourth quarter of 1940. 4 Homes financed with mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration are included in the totals of privately financed units. * Public, No. 671, 76th Cong. •Public, Nos. 781 and 849, and Public Res. 106, 76th Cong. 7 For a more complete discussion, see Defense Housing Policies and Progress, in the May 1941 issue of the M o n th ly L a b or R ev iew , pp. 1061-1078. 20 T abus BUILDING CONSTRUCTION, 1940 11.— N u m b er o f n ew dw elling units in n o n fa rm areas , b y source o f fu n d s each quarter o f 1 9 3 9 and 1 9 4 0 Total Private funds Public funds Period 1940 1939 1940 1939 Year..... ...................................

Defense housing projects situated short distances outside of city limits brought the 1940 total for publicly financed projects in rural nonfarm areas up to 9,183 units.

According to figures in table 13, contracts were awarded for 19,233 units in this area, in contrast to about 11,000 in the East North Central and Middle Atlantic Divisions, which ranked second and third, respectively. More than 4,400 of the publicly financed units in the South Atlantic States were located in the Norfolk-Newport News-Portsmouth (Virginia) district, which is a center of the shipbuilding industry. The public housing program was least significant in the West North Central States, where contracts were awarded for less than 400 units in 1940. 21 GENERAL TRENDS IN BUILDING CONSTRUCTION T a b l e 13.— areas, N u m b er o f new dw elling units in n o n fa rm and source o f fu n d s , 1 9 8 9 and 1 9 4 0 Total b y geographic d ivision Private funds Public funds Geographic division 1940 1939 1940 1939 All divisions________ ______ ________ Percentage change_____________ ________ 540, 000 +16.1 465,000 466, 467 +14.2 408, 458 73, 533 +30.1 56, 542 New England____________________ _____ Middle Atlantic__ ______ ____ __________ East North Central____________________ West North Central___________________ South Atlantic______________ ____ __ 25, 867 82,823 93,474 34,197 101,468 20,110 92,908 73,366 30, 579 77,481 19,506 71, 793 82,179 33,800 82,235 14, 620 78,684 66,163 30,057 64,565 6,361 11, 030 11, 295 397 19, 233 5,490 14,224 7,203 522 12,916 East South Central________________ . . .

Of this total, $1,622,000,000 was for privately financed units and $225,000,000, for those publicly financed. The estimated permit valuation for the 465,000 new units in 1939 was $1,591,000,000, of which $1,406,000,000 came from private funds and $185,000,000, from public funds. It has been found that permit valuations, which represent estimates of construction costs at the time a permit is issued, commonly under state actual costs. Incomplete results of a study which the Bureau is currently making to measure the degree of this understatement in dicate that actual construction costs of privately financed one-family homes are, on the average, 15.5 percent higher than the corresponding permit valuations. In the absence of a more accurate adjustment factor, permit valuations of privately financed residential construc tion in table 14 should be increased by 15.5 percent to yield estimated construction costs. Since the valuations for public housing projects are based on contract values, they do not require this adjustment. The adjustment for privately financed units would raise the permit valuations for the 540,000 new units in 1940 to approximately $2,100,000,0 0 0 .

Although the number of buildings increased only 8 percent over 1939, valuations increased 26 percent. Consequently, the average permit valuation per building shown in table 15 was approximately $500 higher in 1940 than in 1939. The unusually sharp increase of 69 percent in permit valuations for new nonresidential construction was the outstanding change between 1939 and 1940. Such construction accounted for 39 percent of total valuations in 1940 in contrast to only 29 percent in 1939. Although new residential construction gained 12 percent in permit valuations over this period, its relative importance dropped from 55 to 48 percent. Additions, alterations, and repairs also diminished in relative importance in 1940 as a result of a 2-percent decrease in permit valuations. 8The population figures and also the groupings by size of city are based upon the 1930 census. Wash ington, D. C., however, has been grouped with cities in the population class 600,000 and over. Minor adjustments have also been made in the case of small cities which have been annexed to larger ones since 1930. 25 26 BUILDING CONSTRUCTION, 1940 T a b l e 15 ,— S u m m a r y o f building con stru ction f o r w hich 'permits were issu ed in 2 ,3 9 7 identical cities , 1 9 3 9 and 1 9 4 0 Permit valuation Number of buildings Class of construction Per cent age change 1940 1939 All construction__________________ 847,327 784,030 + 8 .1 New residential__________________ New nonresidential_______________ Additions, alterations, and repairs.. 283,197 142,914 421, 216 235,476 135,945 412,609 +20.3 +5.1 + 2 .1 1940 1939 $2,710,393,208 $2,149,959,230 1,311,826,836 1,050,535, 554 348,030,818 1,175,341, 275 620,810,862 353,807,093 Per cent age change +26.1 + 1 1 .6 +69.2 - 1 .6 National defense activities in the latter half of 1940 exerted a strong influence on the pattern of building construction for the whole year. A t the end of June, the 1940 permit valuations were running behind those for the first half of 1939. Although new residential construction in the first half of 1940 was greater than during the same months of 1939, lags in both other classes of construction— and particularly in new nonresidential building— more than offset the better showing in new residential construction. Permit valuations for the last 6 months of 1940 included almost $600,000,000 in contracts awarded by the Federal Government. A part of this was for United States Housing Authority and defense housing projects, but the bulk of it was for nonresidential construc tion. These large Federal expenditures for building in connection with the national defense program were mainly responsible for the increased volume of construction between 1939 and 1940. Federally financed building construction formed approximately $722,000,000 of the total permit valuations of $2,710,393,000 in the 2,397 reporting cities in 1940. Comparison by Type o f Building, 1939 and 1940 The three major classes of building construction have been sub divided in table 16 to show the number and permit valuations of vari ous types of buildings for which permits were issued in 1939 and 1940. Factories were the most important type of new nonresidential buildings in 1940. The 682-percent increase over 1939 for factories was in contrast to a gain of only 18 percent for all other types of new nonresidential buildings shown in table 16. Although permit valuations for factories were higher during each of the first 7 months of 1940 than during the corresponding months of 1939, it was not until August that the very marked increases occurred. The need for increased facilities to speed up production of ma terials and equipment for the national defense program caused the unusual spurt in factory construction late in 1940. Mention of a CONSTRUCTION IN 1939 AND 1940 27 few of the largest projects will indicate the scope of these construction activities. Contracts were awarded for shipbuilding facilities at Newport News, Va., to cost $14,000,000; at Quincy, Mass., to cost $13,428,000; at Camden, N. J., to cost $10,500,000; at San Francisco, Calif., to cost $10,013,000; and at Kearny, N. J., to cost $5,500,000. The capacity of aircraft factories was to be expanded by a $28,500,000 building at Lockland, Ohio; a $21,965,000 building at Dearborn, M ich.; a $7,369,000 building at Seattle, Wash.; and one at Farmingdale, N. Y ., to cost $4,000,000. Other large factory buildings in cluded a small-arms ammunition plant at St. Louis, M o., to cost $11,307,000; an ammonia plant at Morgantown, W. Va., to cost $15,000,000; and increased steel-mill facilities at Bethlehem, Pa., to cost $22,317,000. Public buildings were second to factories in both the amount of 1940 permit valuations and the percentage increase over 1939. Fed eral contracts for the construction of cantonment camps, replacement centers, and barracks, to accommodate the increased military personnel resulting from the enactment of the Selective Service Act of 1940 contributed to this increase. This category also included substantial amounts of new building construction at arsenals, navy yards, and similar Government properties. Stores and warehouses, which were the third largest type of nonresidential building in 1940, gained 22 percent over 1939 permit valuations. Construction of buildings of this type was spread more evenly throughout the entire 12 months of 1940 than was that of either factories or public buildings. Moreover, valuations placed on indi vidual stores and warehouses averaged much less than those for the other two major classes of nonresidential buildings. The three categories just discussed accounted for nearly 70 percent of total new nonresidential permit valuations in 1940, in contrast to only a little more than 40 percent of the 1939 total. Schools and libraries showed the major loss from 1939, a decrease in permit valua tions of 62 percent causing this type of building to drop from first to fifth place. Residential buildings include, in addition to housekeeping dwellings of various types, hotels, lodging houses, and other miscellaneous buildings used for residential purposes. Housekeeping structures accounted for over 98 percent of the total permit valuations for new residential construction in 1940. Single-family houses represented over three-fourths of all permit valuations for new housekeeping buildings in 1940. Multifamily buildings, including those which were built in combination with stores, accounted for one-sixth of the total, and two-family buildings and one- and two-family buildings with stores accounted for the balance. 327851°—41-----3 28 BUILDING CONSTRUCTION, 1940 T a b l e 16 .— N u m b er and p erm it valuation o f various typ es o f buildings in 2 ,8 9 7 identical cities, 1 9 3 9 and 1 9 4 0 Number of buildings Type of building Permit valuation Per centage change 1940 1939 All types _____________________ ___ New buildings..................................

The gains shown in table 18 ranged from 12 percent in the M iddle Atlantic and Mountain States to 52 percent in the Pacific States. A 75-percent gain in new nonresidential buildings was wholly responsible for the better showing in the Middle Atlantic States in 1940, since permit valuations for new residential buildings decreased 12 percent and those for additions, alterations, and repairs, 2 percent. This division exceeded all others in amount of permit valuations in both years. Although permits issued in New York City accounted fqr a little more than two-fifths of the total permit valuations in the Middle Atlantic region in both years, the increases outside New York City were proportionately greater than those in the metropolis. For the entire division there was a net increase in permit valuations in 1940 of approximately $64,000,000. M ore than $58,000,000 of this increase was in the cities of Bethlehem and Chester, Pa., and Camden, Jersey City, and Kearny, N. J. Increased steel-mill facilities were respon sible for the large permit valuations in Bethlehem. Contracts for shipbuilding facilities were the largest items in Kearny, Camden, and Chester, although figures for the latter two cities also included U. S. H. A.-aided projects. Contracts were also awarded for a radio equip ment plant and for ordnance facilities in Camden. In Jersey City the major projects were nonindustrial in character and included a new hospital and nurses’ home as well as two large U. S. H. A.-aided projects. The East North Central division was second to the Middle Atlantic division in total permit valuations in both 1939 and 1940. Although all three classes of construction contributed to the 31-percent increase in this division, the greatest proportionate gam was in new nonresi dential buildings. Building construction was not centered in a few localities in the East North Central States to the same extent as was the case in the Middle Atlantic Division. Fourteen cities had permit valuations in excess of $5,000,000 in 1940; the totals ranged from about $5,800,000 in Gary, Ind., to approximately $88,700,000 in Detroit. Although each of these cities had higher valuations in 1940 than in 1939, the greatest proportionate increases were in Dearborn, M ich., Lockland, Ohio, and Evanston, 111. In Dearborn, permits were issued for single family dwellings to cost almost $6,700,000, but a contract awarded for an aircraft-engine factory to cost nearly $22,000,000 accounted for most of the rise. A $28,500,000 contract awarded for an aircraft fac- 30 BUILDING CONSTRUCTION, 1940 tory was almost wholly responsible for the large increase in Lockland, and a school costing $4,500,000 was the principal building project in Evanston in 1940. The Pacific States ranked third, having had a 52-percent increase in permit valuations between 1939 and 1940. New nonresidential construction gained 137 percent and new residential building 29 per cent, but permit valuations for additions, alterations, and repairs were 6 percent below the 1939 total. Fourteen cities, each of which had permit valuations in excess of $5,000,000, accounted for 70 percent of the total in the Pacific divi sion in 1940. Valuations ranged from about $5,200,000 in Spokane to $91,100,000 in Los Angeles. The largest proportionate increase was in Vallejo, Calif., where the total jumped from $924,000 in 1939 to $13,100,000 in 1940. Enlargement of the navy yard and defense housing undertaken by the N avy to accommodate additional workers accounted for the bulk of this increase. Permit valuations in San Diego were more than four and one-half times as large in 1940 as in 1939. A variety of buildings, most of which were in connection with the defense program, contributed to this increase. Expansion of an aircraft plant to cost over $14,400,000 was the largest single project, but large contracts were also awarded for a replacement center, a pier and transit shed at the navy supply depot, and buildings at the destroyer base, the naval training station, and the navy yard. Per mits were also issued in San Diego for a large number of privately financed single-family dwellings, and, in addition, contracts were awarded for 4,200 dwelling units in publicly financed housing proj ects to cost approximately $12,900,000. In Alameda, Calif., permit valuations more than doubled between 1939 and 1940. Although the N avy awarded a $1,200,000 contract for a plane hangar, most of the construction there was in privately financed residential units. The 39-percent increase in permit valuations in the South Atlantic States brought the 1940 total to more than $413,100,000. Twentyone cities in this area had permit valuations of more than $5,000,000 in 1940, but in 5 of these cities the 1940 valuations were below the 1939 totals. The decreases were in the larger cities of Washington, Miami, Atlanta, Birmingham, and Richmond. Several of the smaller places such as Radford, Va., South Charleston, W. Va., Spartanburg, S. C., and Morgantown, W . Va., experienced construction “ boom s” as a result of defense contracts. Radford is the site of a powder plant for which the contract value was $14,650,000. A $12,000,000 con tract was awarded for naval ordnance facilities to be constructed in South Charleston; 450 dwelling units in publicly financed housing were also started there in 1940. A replacement center was located by the Army at Spartanburg and 370 units of public housing were 31 CONSTRUCTION IN 193 9 AND 1940 started. A Government contract for a $15,000,000 ammonia plant occasioned the increase in Morgantown. In the New England, West North Central, and West South Central divisions, permit valuations for both residential and nonresidential buildings increased between 1939 and 1940. The Mountain division had a greater proportionate rise in new residential construction than any other division, but new nonresidential construction declined slightly. The East South Central was the only division which had lower permit valuations in 1940 than in the previous year. Although there was a gain in new nonresidential construction in this division, it was not sufficient to offset decreases in both other classes of con struction. The effect of Government contracts on building construc tion in these divisions was similar to that in the four divisions with the highest permit valuations, which have been discussed above.

The increases varied between 6 percent in the population class 2,500 to 5,000 and 52 percent in the next higher class, i. e., 5,000 to 10,000. The comparatively small increase in places of 2,500 to 5,000 resulted primarily from a 22-percent decrease in new nonresidential buildings, since the increase in new residential construction in this division compared very favorably with gains in other population groups. New residential construction increased between 1939 and 1940 in all city-size classes except that comprising cities with populations of a half million or more. Similarly, all but the group of cities in the 2,500-to-5,000 class had increased permit valuations for new non residential construction. The gains in residential construction were much more uniform among the 8 size groups than those in nonresi dential construction, which varied between 8 and 132 percent. The location of large defense projects was the principal explanation of the unusually wide variations in nonresidential construction. For example, permit valuations for the population class 5,000 to 10,000 which showed the 132-percent increase in 1940, included a $12,000,000 naval ordnance factory at South Charleston, W. Va., a $28,500,000 aircraft factory at Lockland, Ohio, and a $14,650,000 powder plant at Radford, Va.

In the latter year, the tendency appears most clearly in the figures for residential construction in table 22, because a few large defense projects overshadowed other developments in nonresidential construction in 1940. Per capita permit valuations for new residential construction in places in the 5 size classes between 1,000 and 25,000 were approximately $30, in contrast to less than $19 in the larger cities.9 T able 22.— P e r capita perm it valuation o f various classes o f building construction in 2 }3 9 7 identical cities , b y size o f c ity , 1 9 3 9 and 1 9 4 0 Total construction New residential buildings New nonresidential buildings Size of city 1940 1939 1940 1939 1940 1939 All reporting cities..................................... $43.38 $34. 41 $21.00 $18.81 $16.82 $9.94 500,000 and over____________ ________ ___ 100,000 and under 500,000________________ 50,000 and under 100,000____________ ____ 25,000 and under 50,000................................. 36.83 41.13 44.54 48.06 32. 32 31.88 31.12 32.95 17.60 19. 71 17.25 20.78 18.69 17.18 15. 54 16. 77 13. 86 16. 06 21.47 21.17 8. 33 9.18 9.62 10. 38 10,000 and under 25,000_______________ _ 5,000 and under 10,000................................... 2,500 and under 5,000............ ................. ....... 1,000 and under 2,500..................................... 47. 96 70.49 47.10 57. 74 40.25 46. 43 44. 51 48.94 26.13 35.35 30.66 39.26 20.28 27.86 24.64 30. 78 15. 87 29.17 11.47 13. 53 13. 35 12. 55 14. 77 12.54 Additions, alterations, and repairs Total Size of city 1940 Residential 1939 1940 1939 Nonresidential 1940 1939 All reporting cities........................................ $5. 57 $5.66 $2.20 $3.21 $3. 46 500,000 and over___________ ______ ______ 100,000 and under 500,000........................... 50,000 and under 100,000........ ...................... 25,000 and under 50,000.......... .................. 5. 37 5. 36 5. 82 5.30 5. 52 5.96 5.80 2.12 1.88 2.15 1.78 2. 32 2.49 3. 25 3. 48 3.26 3.35 3.15 3.74 3.64 3.31 10,000 and under 25,000............................. 5,000 and under 10,000............ ...................... 2,500 and under 5,000.________ ___________ 1,000 and under 2,500....... .............................. 5.96 5.97 4.97 4.95 6. 62 6.02 2. 80 2.50 2.91 2. 30 2. 47 3.16 2. 73 2. 51 1.99 4.12 3.11 2.80 3.15 6.12 5.10 5. 62 $2.33 2.56 2.77 3. 24 2.46 2.96 All population classes, except that comprising the largest cities, had substantial increases in the number of new dwelling units between 1939 and 1940. As can be seen from table 23, the drop in units in multifamily buildings was wholly responsible for the 4-percent de crease in cities with populations of 500,000 or more.10 Increases in the remaining population groups ranged from 11 percent in cities of 50,000 to 100,000 to 27 percent in cities of 10,000 to 25,000. 9Arrangement of the data in accordance with the 1940 census classifications would alter the per capita figures to some extent, but the changes would probably not be sufficient to alter the intergroup reiationshlns appreciably. 10 Cf. p. 18. 136 T BUILDING CONSTRUCTION, 1940 able 23.— N u m b er o f n ew dw elling u n its m 2 ,8 9 7 identical cities , b y size o f city and tyn e o f d w elling , 1 9 3 9 and 1 9 4 0 1-family dwellings All types of dwellings Size of city Number of units 1940 1939 All reporting cities......... ............ ............. . 360,995 319,985 500.000 and over. ........... ......................... . 100.000 and under 500,000________________ 50.000 and under 100,000_____ ___________ 25.000 and under 50,000______ ______ _____ 10.000 and under 25,000__________________ 5.000 and under 10,000___________________ 2,500 and under 5,000. _____ ______________ 1.000 and under 2,500____________________ 100,018 86,079 31,088 37,165 63,018 28,168 16,384 9,075 104, 676 72, 231 28, 066 29,723 41, 711 22,478 13, 595 7,505 Percent age change A l l r e p o r t i n g c i t i e s ............. .................. .............................. ... 5 0 0 .0 0 0 a n d o v e r . _ _____________ ______________ ________ 1 0 0 .0 0 0 a n d u n d e r 5 0 0 ,0 0 0 ________ ______________ 5 0 .0 0 0 a n d u n d e r 1 0 0 ,0 0 0 _______________ ____________ 2 5 .0 0 0 a n d u n d e r 5 0 ,0 0 0 ......... ............... .............................. ... 1 0 .0 0 0 a n d u n d e r 2 5 ,0 0 0 ......... ............... ................................. 5 .0 0 0 a n d u n d e r 1 0 ,0 0 0 ____________________ ___________ 2 ,5 0 0 a n d u n d e r 5 ,0 0 0 _________________________________ 1 .0 0 0 a n d u n d e r 2 , 5 0 0 . . ______________________________ N u m b e r o f u n its 1940 1939 2 9 ,4 8 1 2 2, 684 7 ,8 8 1 9 ,8 3 5 3 ,1 3 8 3 , 566 2 ,8 3 8 1 ,2 4 9 5 78 3 96 4 , 509 8 , 5 32 3 ,2 1 1 2 .4 9 0 2 ,1 9 6 9 23 5 30 293 Percent age change 1940 1939 +12.8 260, 564 217,156 +20.0 - 4 .4 +19.2 +10.8 +25.0 +27.1 +25.3 +20.5 +20.9 51, 231 61, 288 24,939 30,409 46,117 23,365 14, 868 8,437 47.900 49, 703 21,849 24,329 35,462 18, 745 12, 272 6,896 + 7 .0 +23.3 +14.1 +25.0 +30.0 +24.6 +21.2 +22.3 2 - f a m ily d w e llin g s 1 S iz e o f c it y Number of units P e rc e n t age change M u l t i f a m i l y d w e llin g s 2 N u m b e r o f u n its P e rc e n t age change 1940 1939 + 3 0 .0 7 0 ,8 6 0 8 0 .1 4 5 - 1 1 .6 + 7 4 .8 + 1 5 .3 - 2 .3 + 4 3 .2 + 2 9 .2 + 3 5 .3 + 9 .1 + 3 5 .2 4 0 ,9 0 6 1 4 ,9 5 6 3, O il 3 ,1 9 0 4 ,0 6 3 3 ,5 5 4 938 2 42 5 2 ,2 6 7 1 3 ,9 9 6 3 .0 0 6 2 ,9 0 4 4 ,0 5 3 2 ,8 1 0 7 93 316 - 2 1 .7 + 6 .9 + .2 + 9 .8 +• 2 + 2 6 .5 + 1 8 .3 - 2 3 .4 1Includes 1- and 2-family dwellings with stores. 2Includes multifamily dwellings with stores.

The total value of all contracts awarded or force-account work 12 started by the Federal Government for construction projects in 1939 and 1940 is shown in table 24. This tabulation, which covers all construction undertaken by the Federal Government both inside and outside the continental United States, shows valuations for 13 other types of construction projects in addition to residential and nonresidential buildings. The total value of Federal construction projects in 1940 was two and three-fourths times as high as it was in 1939. By far the largest part of this increase was in contracts awarded for the construction and repair of naval vessels, for which the 1940 total was in excess of $4,000,000,000 as compared with only a little more than $385,000,000 in 1939. There were also very large increases in the value of pro jected construction of nonresidential buildings, airports, and public roads. Smaller increases were recorded for residential buildings and river, harbor, and flood-control projects. For the remaining nine categories of Federal construction included in table 24 the total contract values in 1940 were lower than in 1939. Over 95 percent of the Federal construction projects undertaken in 1940 were to be financed from regular Federal appropriations in contrast to less than 57 percent in 1939. The value of Public Works Administration projects was only about one-tenth as high in 1940 as in 1939. Similarly, outlays from Federal agency Work Projects Administration funds were reduced by more than one-half between 1939 and 1940. 11The term “force account” refers to construction, repair, or maintenance work for which a Government agency employs its own labor rather than contracting for it. 138 BUILDING CONSTRUCTION, 1940 24.— V a lu e o f contracts awarded and force-a ccou n t w ork started on construction projects fin a n ced from Federal fu n d s , 1 9 3 9 and 1 9 4 0 1 T a b l e Total Regular Federal appropriations Type of project 1940 1939 ? 1940 All types of projects............... ............. . 3$6, 296, 527,048 4$2,282,137, 504 $6,016, 267, 754 113,313,230 4, 752,921 111, 913,406 873,891 3 246,940,818 1,065,864,605 97,923,095 4,156,684 13,917,855 7,060,274 339,132,054 68,994,015 140, 907,493 4231,070,689 73,396,873 1,031,538,803 88,993, 995 2,588. 354 1,038,119 124,460, 721 100,616,066 11,950 22,093 336,833,955 60.084, 687 140,701,269 230,246,090 85,096, 726 105,039,781 4,050, 710,394 86, 774,981 25, 778, 901 16, 219, 321 18,833,328 385,307,643 209, 955,459 89,128, 444 118,131,218 52,856,927 4,050, 710,394 86, 774,981 11,804,612 4.401.681 16, 524, 744 385, 207,643 209,875,448 7, 757, 730 1,560,978 44,646,843 Airports5....................................................

In addition to construction undertaken by Federal agencies with W . P. A. funds, which is included in table 24, the Work Projects Administration operated other construction projects in cooperation with State and local governments. The total labor and nonlabor costs on such projects are shown in table 25. In both 1939 and 1940, con struction of highways, roads, and streets accounted for more than half of the total labor and nonlabor costs on W. P.

State Governments increased their expenditures for public build ings 126 percent between 1939 and 1940. All geographic divisions except New England contributed to this increase, according to figures in table 26. Practically four-fifths of the total awards were made by States in three geographic divisions— the Middle Atlantic, East North Central, and Pacific. Highway construction was a much more important item in State expenditures than public buildings, the value of awards for highways being over three and one-half times that for buildings in 1940.
