BUILDING PERMITS IN THE PRINCIPAL CITIES OF
THE UNITED STATES IN 19231
INTRODUCTION
This is the fourth annual report concerning building permits issued
in the principal cities of the United States which has been published
by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Immediately after January 1 the bureau mailed a questionnaire to
the building inspectors of the 287 cities having a population of 25,000
or over. A large majority of these cities filled out and returned the
questionnaires. To a number, however, it was necessary to send
agents of the bureau who compiled the data either from records of
permits issued or from the original applications for permits. The
number of cities to which it was necessary to send agents was smaller
this year than in any of the preceding years. Reports were finally
obtained from 269 cities.
No report was obtained from 18 cities having a population of 25,000
or over. Most of these cities either do not have a building code or
the one on the statute books did not require that a record of the
number and cost of the different kinds of buildings be kept, as speci­
fied on the bureau’s schedule. A few smaller cities are not included
because they did not respond and it was impracticable to send an
agent for the data. Reports were received for the first time from
Elmira and Kingston, N. Y., and Lewiston, Me., new building codes
having recently been adopted in these cities.
Table 1 shows the totaTnumber of new buildings and the estimated
cost of each of the different kinds for which permits were issued in
the 269 cities from which schedules were received for the year 1923,
the per cent that each kind forms of the total number, the per cent
that the estimated cost of each kind forms of the total, and the
average per building.i
i Earlier figures regarding building permits in the United States may be found in Bulletin Nos. 295, 318*
and 347, and the Monthly Labor Review for July, 1921; April and October, 1922; July and October, 1923,
and June, 1924. The two October Reviews contain reports for the first half of each year for cities of 100,000
or over.

» Less than one-tenth of 1 per cent.

Table 1 shows that 49.6 per cent of all the new buildings erected in
cities having a population of 25,000 or over were residential build­
ings, and that 65.1 per cent of the money spent in the erection of new
buildings was for this class of structure.
This is the first year since the bureau has been collecting these data
that more permits have been issued for nonresidential buildings than
for residential buildings. This is largely due to the increase in the
number of private garages erected, it will be seen that 221t825 per­
mits were granted for private garages, being 40 per cent of all the new
buildings projected. Next in number are the 211,235 permits for
one-family houses. In 1920, 1921, and 1922 more permits were
issued for one-family houses than for any other class of buildings.
While the number of permits for nonresidential buildings passed that
for residential buildings, the estimated cost of the latter class was
considerably in excess of that of the former. The table shows that
$2,017,547,489, or 65.1 per cent of the total estimated cost of all
new construction, was spent for residential buildings compared with
$1,082,147,416, or 34.9 per cent of the total cost, for nonresidential
buildings.




ts r te o D u c T ic m

Thus it will be seen that the primary object of builders the past
year had been to relieve the housing shortage which undoubtedly
still exists in many cities of the United States.
Quite a large sum of money was spent in the erection of buildings
paid for by cities, counties, or State governments, practically all of the
funds for the erection of buildings shown in general Table A under the
headings of Institutions, Public buildings, Public works and utilities,
and Schools, Libraries, etc., being raised from public sources.
The largest amount of money estimated to have been spent for any
class of nonresidential buildings w
^as for stores and warehouses,
the estimated cost of these mercantile buildings being $192,912,895.
The last column in the table shows the average cost per building of
each of the different classes of buildings for which permits were issued.
To the average reader the most interesting of these figures will be
those for one-family houses and those for two-family houses. It will
be noticed that the average cost of the former was $4,173 and of the
latter $8,047. This is not a very great difference in the cost per family.
The average amount of money spent for the erection per hotel was
$447,928, costing more per building than any other class of structure.
Schools and institutions were other groups where the average cost
was high, that of the former being $160,229 and of the latter $152,944.
It must be borne in mind that the costs given in this and other
tables in this bulletin are estimated costs taken from the application
for a permit to build. The estimates are made by the owner or builder
when he applies for his permit and can not be regarded as absolutely
accurate. Often a change in the plans after the permit has been
issued necessitates a change in the amount of money spent in the
erection of the building. Again a man may give an estimate which
he knows to be too low because he thinks by doing so he can keep down
the assessed value of his property. Another reason for low estimates
in some cities is that permits are charged for according to the cost of
the building. On the other hand it is charged that some builders state
the valuation above the correct figure for its effect on a prospective
buyer.
The total estimated cost of all classes of new buildings for which
permits were issued in the 269 cities was $3,099,694,905, the largest
amount ever spent in any one year as far as any known records show.
As has been stated before, the number of cities from which reports
were received differed ’ in the different years. Information was
received, however, from 258 identical cities for each of the three
years, 1921, 1922, and 1923.
Table 2 shows the number and per cent of families provided for
by each of the different kinds of dwellings in the 258 cities from
which reports were received each of these years.

The most important fact brought out by Table 2 is the large
increase in the number of families provided for in 1923 as compared
with either 1922 or 1921, there being 454,192 families provided with
new housing accommodations in the 258 cities in 1923, contrasted
with 225,138 in 1921 and 377,504 in 1922.
An illustration of how the American home is changing is shown by
the fact that 58.3 per cent of the families provided for were housed
in one-family dwellings in 1921. In 1922 this percentage shrank to
47.6 per cent and in 1923 to 45.8 per cent. On the other hand, the
per cent of families provided for in apartment houses increased from
23.1 per cent in 1921 to 29.3 per cent in 1922 and 30.7 per cent in
1923. In other words, for every three families who found new living
quarters in one-family houses two were housed in apartments. The
widespread effect of this change is more apparent when one considers
that this report includes cities with a population as small as 25,000.
In many of the smaller of these cities, which had no apartment houses
at all before the war, this class of dwelling is now being built. The
percentage of two-family houses has also increased in each of the last
two years.
There is a movement now, however, in many of the larger cities
which partly offsets this trend toward dwellings designed for more
than one family— that is, the large exodus to the suburbs. The
high cost of real estate in the cities, the more prevalent use of auto­
mobiles, extended street-car lines, and better suburban schedules of
railroads have caused many people to build at a considerable distance
from their work, quite often outside the city limits. Undoubtedly
the large majority of suburban homes are of the one-family type,
but as most of them are outside the city limits they do not show in
our report.
Table 3 shows the number and cost of each of the different kinds
of buildings for the 258 cities from which reports were received in
each of the three years— 1921, 1922, and 1923— and the percentage
of increase or decrease in the number and in the cost m 1923 as
compared with 1921 and 1922.

BUILDING PERMITS IN 1923

The above figures show that there was an increase of 60.2 per cent
in the number of permits issued for all classes of new buildings in the
258 cities in 1923 over the number in 1921 and an increase of 22.3
per cent over that of 1922. There was an increase of 95.3 per cent
m the estimated cost of these buildings as compared with 1921 and
of 23.4 per cent as compared with 1922.
For residential buildings the number increased 72.8 per cent in
1923 as compared with 1921 and 17.2 per cent as compared with 1922,
while the estimated amount expended increased 113.5 per cent during
the former period and 24.1 per cent during the latter period.
The number of nonresidential buildings increased 49.5 per cent
from 1921 to 1923, and 27.7 per cent from 1922 to 1923. The esti­
mated cost of nonresidential buildings shows an increase of 68.4
per cent in comparing 1923 with 1921 and 22.2 per cent in comparing
1922 with 1923.
EXPLANATION OF GENERAL TABLE
General Table A, pages 12 to 127, shows detailed information con­
cerning building operations in specified cities in 1921, 1922, and
1923. This table is divided into three parts. Part 1 relates to the
new residential buildings, giving the number and cost of each kind
of dwelling, the number of families provided for, and the ratio of
families provided for to each 10,000 of population.
It will be noted that the ratio of families provided for is based on
both the population according to the 1920 census and on the esti­
mated population for the specified year. The ratio was worked on
the different bases because it was thought that many people would
use the 1920 figures for each specified year since they are the latest
enumerated population figures. The population figures given for
1921, 1922, and 1923 are estimates but they probably furnish a
more nearly exact base for these years than the 1920 census figures
furnish.
The estimates of population were made by the Census Bureau of
the United States Department of Commerce. It will be noticed
that for some cities no estimate was made. To obtain a total
estimated population from which to work out the ratio for the
entire country for the specified year, the actual population according
to the 1920 census was of necessity used for these cities.
The table shows complete reports from 258 cities in 1921. These
cities had a population according to the 1920 census of 36,643,576
and homes were provided in new buildings for 225,138 families, this
being at the rate of 61.4 per 10,000 of population. In 1922 informamation was received from 266 cities having a population of 37,054,776.
These cities provided new family accommodations for 380,163
families, the ratio being 102.6 to each 10,000 inhabitants. By 1923
this ratio had risen to 123.7 to each 10,000 of population in the 269
cities reporting for that year, there being 459,471 families housed in
that year in these cities, which had a population of 37,158,648 ac­
cording to the 1920 census.




EXPLANATION OF GENERAL TABLE

Using instead the estimated population as published by the Census
Bureau it is found that the ratio of families to each 10,000 of popu­
lation was 59.7 in 1921, with 97.8 in 1922, and 115.3 in 1923.
Long Beach, Calif., continues to have the fastest rate of growth
of the cities oi over 25,000 population in the United States, at least
as far as new homes are concerned. This city, having a population
of 55,593 according to the 1920 census, has built in the last three
years accommodations for over 18,000 families. In 1923 alone, 7,185
families were provided for in new buildings. This is at the remarkable
ratio of 1,292.4 to each 10,000 of the city’s population according to
the 1920 census, or 1,038.1 according to the estimated population
for 1923.
Long Beach is the only city where homes were provided for at the
rate of 1 for each 10 of the city’s population, but its large next-door
neighbor, Los Angeles, made almost as remarkable a record. This
fast-growing city provided for 43,842 families in 1923, or at the rate
of 760.3 families to each 10,000 of population, according to the 1920
census, and at the rate of 657.4, according to the population as esti­
mated for 1923.
Miami, Fla., and Irvington, N. J., were other cities that stood out
as great builders of homes, the former city providing accommoda­
tions for 2,338 families in 1923 and the latter 1,313. In Miami this
meant that for each 10,000 people in the city, according to the 1920
census, 790.6 families were provided with new quarters, or 611.1 fami­
lies for each 10,000 persons in the city, according to the estimated
population for 1923. In Irvington 515.3 families were provided fpr
to each 10,000 of the city’s inhabitants, according to the 1920 census,
or 432.1, according to the population as estimated for the year 1923.
In New York City the ratio of families provided for to each 10,000
of population in 1923, according to the estimated population for that
year, was 178.3. In 1921 the ratio based on the estimated population
was 89.3, or only a little over half that of 1923. These figures apply
only to buildings erected within the city limits. Undoubtedly the
percentage increase would be even larger if records were obtained
for all the residential buildings erected in the metropolitan district.
Chicago, too, provided for a greater percentage of families in 1923
than in preceding years. The ratio of families provided for to each
10,000 of the city’s population was over 100 for the first time since
the records have been compiled, being 124.1, based on the census of
1920, or 116.2 based on the estimated population for 1923.
A study of the table will show that the crest of residential building
has been reached in some of the cities as a slight falling off is noted
in a few cities, both large and small, in the number of families pro­
vided for in 1923, as compared with 1922.
Part 2 of General Table A gives the number and cost of n6w nonresidential buildings for each city from which reports were received.
Part 3 shows the number and cost of additions, alterations, and
repairs to old buildings, the number and cost of installations, and
the grand total of all buildings both new and old.




BUILDING PERMITS IN 1923

The bureau attempted to classify additions, alterations, and repairs
under headings of repairs, etc., for housekeeping dwellings, non­
housekeeping dwellings, and nonresidential buildings. Many of the
cities which reported b y mail, however, grouped them. In 1921 per­
mits were issued for 226,602 additions, alterations, and repairs in 258
cities, and $273,439,727 was expended. In 1922 in the 266 cities
reporting for that year 247,929 such permits were granted for
$286,723,251, while the 269 cities reporting in 1923 showed 272,514
permits and $340,215,978 as the amount expended.
The number of installation permits and the construction cost was
obtained whenever issued by the building inspector. In a number
of cities, however, these permits were issued by offices other than
that of the building inspector.
In 1923 the 269 cities covered in this report issued a grand total
of 910,164 permits for new construction, repairs, and installation,
$3,471,366,667 being the estimated cost thereof.
Previous to the year 1920 the Geological Survey of the United
States Department of the Interior collected and published data con­
cerning the number and cost of buildings. The figures shown below
are the total amounts of money spent in 130 identical cities from which
information was obtained during the years 1914 to 1923, inclusive.
From 1914 to 1919, inclusive, the figures are taken from the publica­
tions of the Geological Survey; for 1920, 1921, 1922, and 1923 from
the records of the Bureau of Labor Statistics:

These figures, giving the cost of buildings as shown by building
permits, can not be interpreted to indicate the relative physical
amount of building construction, because the costs of both materials
and labor used in such construction have varied from year to year.
The following information taken from the Monthly Labor Review
for January, 1924, shows in comparison the changes in the cost of
building material, building wage rates, and the cost of living, from
1913 through the war period and down to 1923. The information is
presented in the form of index numbers (percentages) in which 1913
is the base year.
Wholesale prices of building material are available for each month
of the period. Union wage scale's are available only as of May each
year. Cost-of-living figures are available as of December each year
down to 1918 and later semiannually or quarterly. The table follow­
ing is abridged and contains index numbers for yearly averages or
for certain months.
The group of all “ building materials” includes all the major arti­
cles entering into building construction. In addition to the index
numbers for building material as a whole, separate index numbers
are given for two of the principal articles in the group, lumber and
common brick.




EXPLANATION OF GENERAL TABLE

Union wage rates obtain so generally in the building trades that
such union rates are here accepted as representative of building
wages. A composite figure is given for all building trades and for
two of the principal trades included therein; namely, bricklayers
and carpenters.
The cost-of-living figures include family expenditures for food,
clothing, housing, fuel and light, and miscellaneous items.
Quoting from monthly figures, only in part appearing in the table,
wholesale prices of building material went as low as an index of 88
in November and December, 1914, and January, 1915. From that
time on the trend was upward with slight recession in the fall of 1917
and in the winter of 1918-19, until in April, 1920, prices reached an
index of 300. In other words, the prices in that month were, on an
average, three times the prices of 1913. Lumber went higher than
the group as a whole, reaching an index of 373 in March, 1920. Then
came/the rapid slump in prices, with building material as a whole
falling to 156 in August and September, 1921. Radical but not such
meteoric changes occurred in wage rates and in cost of living. Figures
for every month are not available, but it is believed that the index
numbers shown in the table fairly represent the changes in wages
and cost of living throughout the period.
Building has been active in recent years to catch up with the loss
of building construction during the war period, and there has been
a strong demand and at times keen competition for building labor.
Building wage rates as a whole in May, 1921, reached a rate twice
that of 1913. There was a slight recession in 1922 but in May, 1923,
building wages as a whole reached an index of 207 as compared with
100 in 1913, making the highest level on record. It will be observed
that neither bricklayers7nor carpenters7wages got to so high an index
in 1923 as the general level oi all building trades. Certain other
building trades advanced above the general level for all trades com­
bined. Wages of painters, stonemasons, building laborers, and
helpers for several of the different trades, had advanced beyond the
level of the group as a whole, steamfitters7 helpers reaching an index
of 240 in 1923. Cost of living reached its peak in 1920, the index
for June of that year being 217.
Tracing the movement through the period 1913 down to and
including 1920, it is seen that wages did not keep up with cost of
living nor with building material after 1915. In the three years
since 1920 wages have held above material prices and cost of living,
and building mechanics have had some chance to make up for the
adverse conditions in the earlier years.
In June, 1923, building material wholesale prices stood at an index
of 194, with lumber and brick, however, at 212 and 216, respectively,
the difference between the index numbers for these two items and for
the group as a whole being due to the greater decrease in the price
of other items within the group. In the same month cost of living
stood at an index of 170, and at practically the same date, May, 1923,
building wages had an index of 207, with bricklayers and carpenters
at 191 and 204, respectively.
