BUILDING PERMITS IN THE PRINCIPAL CITIES OF
THE UNITED STATES IN 19241
INTRODUCTION

The following information was compiled from reports received
from the 274 cities from which the 1924 building permit data were
received. As has been c u s t o m a r y since 1921, the JBureau of Labor
Statistics mailed its building permit schedule to each of the 287 cities
in the United States having a population of 25,000 and over. Cer­
tain of these cities did not return schedules and it was necessary to
send agents to these cities to compile the data in the form wanted
by the Dureau. It may be stated that each year the number of neg­
ligent cities grows smaller.
A number of cities where the records were very meager in earlier
years are now keeping the records in conformity with the schedule
of the bureau, and quite a few cities are now making monthly reports
to the bureau.
The growth of interest in this work has not been confined to the
cities. In New York and Massachusetts State bureaus are collecting
and publishing like data for their States and have cooperated heartily
with the Bureau of Labor Statistics in this work. The State of Penn­
sylvania has also rendered material assistance in the collection of
data.
As before stated, reports were obtained from 274 cities for 1924;
the number obtained was 269 in 1923. The majority of the 13 cities
from which no reports were received have no building code. Reports
were obtained from Steubenville, Ohio, and Hagerstown, Md., for
the first time this year, building codes having been adopted in these
cities during 1924.
Table 1 shows the total number of new buildings and the estimated
cost of each of the different kinds for which permits were issued in
the 274 cities from which schedules were received for the year 1924,
the per cent that each kind forms of the total number, the per cent
that the cost of each kind forms of the total cost, and the average
cost per building.i
i Earlier reports concerning building permits issued in the United States are published in Bulletins
Nos. 295, 318, 347, and 368 of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and in the M onthly L abor R eview for
July, 1921; April, 1922; October, 1922; July, 1923; October, 1923; June, 1924; and October, 1924.

i Less than one-tenth of 1 per cent.

The most important fact brought out by the table is that 64.6
per cent of the estimated cost of all buildings for which permits were
issued in these cities during the calendar year 1924 was expended for
residential buildings, while only 49.7 per cent of the total number of
buildings for which permits were issued were for residential buildings.
This is accounted for by the large number of private garages, 39.9
er cent of all buildings projected during 1924 being private garages;
owever, only 3.1 per cent of the total estimated expenditure was
for this class of building.
There were 224,089 permits for private garages issued in 1924—
more than for any other kind of building. One-family dwellings
ranked second in number and first in estimated cost, there being
215,170 permits issued for these homes, or 38.3 per cent of all permits
issued, and the estimated cost of their erection was $928,317,525, or
28.9 per cent of the cost of all classes of structures.
The last column of the table shows the average cost per building
as shown by the estimates on the permits issued. It must be borne
in mind that the cost given in these tables is estimated cost and that
quite often this will vary from the actual cost. In some cities charges
are made for permits in accordance with the cost of the buildings,
and in these cities, unless the city officials check up strictly,

INTRODUCTION

there is a tendency on the part of the builder to give rather low esti­
mates. Often, too, the builder thinks the assessor will assess his
property at a lower figure if he puts the cost low. Of course this is
not true, as the assessor makes his own estimate of the worth of the
property, but it has a tendency to keep the estimated costs as shown
by the permits issued lower than they should be.
Partly counterbalancing this is the tendency of certain builders of
dwelling houses who desire to sell their houses as soon as erected to
report a rather high cost on the permits. A prospective buyer who
had examined the records of the local building inspector would have
an idea of higher worth of the property if the cost of the building
was shown to be rather high.
In some cities strict watch is kept on the costs reported, and if
the cost shown on the report is not what the building commissioner
thinks it should be he orders it changed. In most cities, however,
unless the discrepancy is too great, the estimate of the builder is
taken.
It will be noted that the estimated average cost of a one-family
dwelling is $4,314. This, of course, does not include the cost of a
lot but only the cost of the building itself. The average cost of
a two-family dwelling is $8,317, or $4,159 per family. The average
cost of the multi-family dwellings is shown to be $42,732. As these
13,099 apartment houses were planned to house 134,774 families,
the average cost per family provided for would be $4,153, or prac­
tically the same as the cost per family in two-family dwellings.
It must be borne in mind that all classes of multi-family dwellings,
from the East Side flats to palatial Riverside Drive apartment
houses, are included in this total.
Among the nonresidential buildings, the average cost of educa­
tional buildings (schools, libraries, etc.) is shown to be higher than
that of any other group. It speaks well for the material side of our
educational system at least when the average cost of buildings in this
group is shown to be $153,351. This average cost is somewhat
lowered, too, by the inclusion in the group of some low-cost temporary
school buildings in a number of cities reporting.
Table 2 shows the number and per cent of families provided for
by each of the different kinds of dwellings for which permits were
issued in 269 identical cities in the years 1923 and 1924.

BUILDING PERM ITS IN 1904

The outstanding fact brought out by this table is that for the first
time since the collection of these figures by the bureau there is a gain
in the per cent of families to be housed in new one-family dwellings
as compared with the per cent housed in that class of dwellings the
previous year. In 1924 permits were issued for new one-iamily
dwellings to provide for 47 per cent of the total number of families
provided for in that year. In 1923 this percentage was 46 per cent
m the same 269 cities. In the 258 cities reporting for 1921 and 1922,
47.6 per cent of the total number of families planned for were housed
in one-family dwellings in 1922 and 58.3 per cent in 1921. (See U. S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics Bui. No. 368, p. 4.)
There is a contrasting falling off in the percentage of families to be
housed in apartment houses m 1924 as compared with 1923, only
29.6 per cent, of the total family quarters planned for being in apart­
ment houses this year compared with 30.6 per cent in 1923.
Of course, this gain in one-family dwellings over apartment-house
dwellings is small and not positive proof of a change in the trend of
housing conditions, but it is a good sign.
It wul be seen in Table 2 that there were fewer families planned for
by all classes of dwellings in 1924 than in 1923, there bemg 455,429
living quarters planned for in the new buildings for which permits
were issued in 1924 as compared with 459,471 in 1923. This, too, is
against the previous trend, as since the compilation of these figures by
the bureau each year previous to this year had shown a gain over
the preceding year.
Chart I shows the percentage of distribution of families provided
for in the different kinds of new dwellings for the 258 identical cities
from which reports were received in each of the four years, 1921,
1922, 1923, and 1924. For convenience, one-family and two-family
dwellings with stores combined are grouped with two-family dwell­
ings, and multi-family dwellings with stores are grouped with multi­
family dwellings.
Chart I also illustrates the percentage changes in the families accom­
modated in different classes of dwellings for the four years 1921-1924,
inclusive.
In 1921, 58.3 per cent of the total number of family-housing quar­
ters planned were in one-family dwellings. This percentage decreased
to 47.6 per cent in 1922 and to 45.8 per cent in 1923. In 1924, how­
ever, the tide changed, and there was an increase in the percentage
of one-family houses projected to 47.4, practically the 1922 total.
In contrast, multi-family dwellings, which in 1921 comprised only
24.4 per cent of the total family habitations planned for, increased
in 1922 to 31.2 per cent and in 1923 to 33 per cent. In 1924 the
percentage decreased to exactly the 1922 level of 31.2.
Table 3 shows the number and cost of each of the different kinds
of buildings for the 269 identical cities from which reports were re­
ceived in 1923 and 1924 and the percentage of increase or decrease
in the number and in the cost in 1924 as compared with 1923.

As brought out by Table 3, there was an increase of only ninetenths of 1 per cent in the total number of buildings for which permits
were issued in 1924 over the year 1923. The total estimated expendi­
tures to be made increased in the same period 3.5 per cent.
In 1923 the total estimated expenditure of money for new buildings
increased 23.4 per cent oyer 1922 (see U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
Bui. No. 368, p. 5). In 1922 the increase in expenditure planned was
58.3 per cent over 1921 (see U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Bui.
No. 347, p. 4). The smallness in the increase in estimated expendi­
ture of money in 1924 over 1923 as compared with the increase in
revious years would seem to indicate that the peak of construction
ad about been reached, taking the country as a whole.
The largest increase in both number and cost was in lodging
houses, there being an increase of 193.5 per cent in this class of build­
ing in 1924 over 1923 and 77 per cent in the estimated cost of these
buildings for the same period.
* There was a larger increase in both the number and the cost of
churches than of amusement buildings, the former increasing 22.4
per cent in number and 27 per cent in estimated cost, while the latter
increased 17.5 per cent and 10 per cent in number and cost, respec­
tively.

Stores and warehouse buildings was the only class of structures
showing a decline in both number and cost. The number of these
mercantile buildings decreased only one-half of 1 per cent, but the
estimated expenditures for such buildings decreased 4.1 per cent.
Residential buildings increased more in number than nonresidential buildings but less in cost, the increase in the number of build­
ings for residential purposes being 1.1 per cent and for nonresidentia!
purposes eight-tenths of 1 per cent, while the increase in the estimated
costs was 2.7 per cent in the case of residential buildings and 5.1 per
cent in the case of nonresidential buildings.
There has been considerable discussion lately as to whether or not
building construction in the past few years has been sufficient to
make up for the war-time curtailment in that line. Table 4 and Chart
II, it is Loped, will furnish some light on this subject, which is of great
importance to builders and prospective home buyers alike.
In this study the only figures, of any considerable scope, available
concerning the value of buildings constructed each year are those
shown by building permits issued by city building inspectors. The
bureau has such figures for the period 1914 to 1924 for 130 identical
cities.
In issuing a permit the builder or owner is required to state the
cost of the proposed building. This cost often may be an under­
estimate, but it is believed that the percentage of underestimate has
continued to be about the same. Further, a building planned is not
always constructed within the calendar year of the date of the permit
and in particular instances perhaps not constructed at all. However,
as a grand total, it is believed the permit valuations fairly show the
change in the value of buildings constructed from year to year.
In using these figures, it must be borne in mind that they relate to
new construction and do not include alterations and repairs, and that
they cover both residential and nonresidential buildings. They are
limited to 130 cities, and, being restricted to city limits and bunding
permits issued by the cities, they do not include much of the build­
ings erected for war purposes which to a large extent were outside
of city limits.
Table 4 shows the aggregate value of all buildings erected as stated*
on permits issued by the building inspectors in 130 identical cities,
from 1914 to 1924, inclusive, together with the index numbers of
this value, of costs of building material, of wage rates in the building
trades, of cost of construction of a typical building with material
and labor combined, of amount or volume of building done, and of
population.
The index number of the aggregate value of all buildings constructed
was obtained by using the estimated cost of buildings (as shown by
permits issued) diming 1914 as 100. The building material and the
wage rate indexes are those of wholesale prices of building materials
and of union wages in the building trades published by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics.
To obtain the index numbers of cost of constructing a building
it was necessary to get the proportionate cost of material and labor
in building as of some one year, and to these figures apply the change
in price from year to year in the two items, material and labor.
According to figures compiled by Mr. Barclay White, a builder of
Philadelphia, and presented to both the Philadelphia and the national

conference of construction industries early in 1921, skilled and un­
skilled labor together formed 36.99 per cent of the cost of building;
and material cost 42.88 per cent. The remaining 20.13 per cent oi
the cost is chargeable to supervision, insurance, engineering, etc.
These figures are assumed to be as of 1920.

Mr. White’s figures were based on records kept on eight typical
buildings described as follows:
The relative values o f the various parts of the building have not been very
carefully studied heretofore but we have made an attem pt to fix an approximate
proportion covering the whole building field in this territory. W e have gone
about this b y taking a com posite o f building, which includes a reinforced con­
crete factory building; slow burning or heavy construction warehouse building
with brick walls; the typical style o f tw o-story dwelling; detached brick and
frame residence; stone schoolhouse with w ood-floor construction; fireproof insti­
tu tion a l building; the apartment house; and the steel-fram e office building.
I think you w ill agree with me that these eight classifications com e pretty near
to covering the whole field in private building work.

Using Mr. White’s figures, the ratio of cost of materials to labor
in construction in 1920 was 54 to 46. In 1920 the building material
wholesale price index number of the Bureau of Labor Statistics stood
at 287 and the union wage index number at 193. From these figures
it was found that the relative cost of material to labor in 1914 was
44.1 to 55.9. The year 1914 is taken as the base year of the table,
as it is the earliest year for which permit valuation figures are
available.
To find the index number of the cost of construction for any year,
multiply the building material index of that year by 44.1 and the
union wage index by 55.9, add the products, and divide by 100.
Assuming that the percentages of supervision, engineering, fees,
etc., have not changed, then the actual money costs of these items
have advanced at the same rate as the composite increase of building
material and wage rates. Adding tins cost will make no difference
in the index numbers for cost in the construction of a typical building*




IN T R O D U C T IO N

The index number for the amount of building done was obtained
by dividing the aggregate valuation index for each year specified by
the cost of construction index. The population index number was
arrived at by using the population as estimated by the Census
Bureau for 1914 as 100 in connection with the estimated or actual
figures for the later years. Where no estimated figures were given for
any city, the last preceding figures have been used.
Chart II following illustrates in graphic form the information
carried in Table 4.
Assuming that construction of 1914 cared for the needs of the
population at that time, then the line of population increase is the
normal line of construction increase. It can be seen how the line
of actual building done has varied from this normal trend.
The two other items on Chart II are the aggregate value of all
buildings constructed and cost of construction of a typical building.
The former reached a peak of 410 during 1924, or, m other words,
in these 130 cities the building permits show that over four times
as much money was spent for building construction in 1924 as in
1914.
The cost of constructing a building climbed steadily until it reached
a peak of 235 in 1920, declined to 183 in 1922, but mounted again
by 1924 to 207.
As stated above, if the index of building done had exactly followed
the population index, then it is assumed construction would have
just filled the requirements. This did take place in 1915. In 1916,
however, there was an excess of building operation over population
of 10 points in the index number. In 1917, the year of our entrance
into the World War, there was a restriction in building with con­
struction 43 points below the population demand of that year alone.
In 1918 building construction was but a trifle over a third of the
construction of 1914 and 73 points below the demands of the popula­
tion of that year. In the succeeding three years 1919, 1920, and 1921
construction was still below the normal construction needs for the
year as indicated by population. In the year 1922, however, there
was a building boom with construction far in excess of the normal
need for that year alone, and the boom swelled in volume in 1923
and in 1924.
The close of 1923, however, still left a shortage of 27 points in the
grand aggregate of construction necessary over the 10-year period
to meet the demands of the growing population. In other words,
construction was still roughly a quarter year behind striking a
balance with construction needs. The year 1924, however, saw
construction 76 points oyer the normal need for the year and giving
a balance of 49 points in the amount of construction through the
11-year period over the normal construction needed as indicated by
population. This would show building construction at the end of
1924 to be about four-tenths of a year ahead of current needs. The
sum total of the normal construction needs, 1914 to 1924, inclusive,
as found by adding the index numbers of population, was 1,221,
while the amount of actual building done totaled 1,270 points in the
11-year period.
The average of the population index for the period was 111. To
meet the needs of the population, the average of the amount of
construction index therefore should be 111. The actual average,

however, was 115.5. These figures, therefore, would seem to indi­
cate that the construction in the country as a whole had,' by the
large amount of construction in recent years, made up for the slump
of the war years.
Of course, there are many cities where this is not true and where
more than the normal amount of building construction will still be
needed before the supply is equal to the demand.
EXPLANATION OF GENERAL TABLE
General Table A, pages 14 to 95, shows detailed information
concerning building operations in specified cities in 1923 and 1924.
The 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
both on the population according to the 1920 census and on the esti­
mated population for the specified year. The ratio is worked on the
two different bases because it is thought many people would prefer
the 1920 figures as they are the latest enumeration figures. The
other population figures are estimates, but they are undoubtedly
more nearly right for their respective years than the, 1920 census
figures. The estimates were made by the Census Bureau of the
United States Department of Commerce. It will be seen that for
some cities no estimate of population was made.
The table shows complete reports from 269 cities in 1923. These
cities had a population according to the 1920 census of 37,158,648
and provided new dwelling facilities for 459,471 families, or at the rate
of 123.7 to each 10,000 of population. In 1924 the 274 cities reporting
had a population according to the 1920 census of 37,329,841. New
housing accommodations were provided for in these cities for 456,766
families, or at the rate of 122.4 to each 10,000 of population. If the
population for the specified year is used, the ratio per each 10,000 of
population is 115.7 for 1923 and 112.1 for 1924.
In 1921 the ratio of families provided for to each 10,000 of popula­
tion, according to the estimated population for that year, was 59.7
for the 258 cities reporting. In 1922 this ratio increased to 97.8 for
the 266 cities from which reports were received for that year. (See
M o n t h l y L a b o r R e v i e w , June, 1924, p. 149.)
It will thus be seen
that the peak ratio was reached in 1923.
This year the honor of providing the most new homes according
to population goes to a southern city instead of a western one. In
1923 Long Beach provided new dwellings at the rate of 1,038.1 to
each 10,000 of population, according to the estimated population for
1923, the California city being the only city to provide homes at the
rate of over 1,000 to each 10,000 of population. For 1924, Miami,
Fla., provided for 9,162 families, or at the rate of 2,248.9 new habita­
tions to each 10,000 of population, according to the estimate of popula­
tion for 1924. This is the highest ratio attained by any city since
the bureau has been compiling records.

In 1924 Long Beach fell from the leading place, which it had held
since 1921, to fifth place and Miami rose to first place, building a
dwelling place for one family to each five of the city’s inhabitants.
It will be noticed that California has had two or more cities in
this list of the five leading home builders in each of the four years.
The only other State to show two cities in one year was Ohio in 1922,
with Lakewood and East Cleveland, both suburbs of Cleveland.
Los Angeles is the only city among the 10 largest cities of the
United States to find its way into this select group. However, New
York, with a ratio of 157.1 m 1924, and Chicago, with 122, continue
to show a higher ratio of families provided for to each 10,000 of the
population than the country as a whole. Detroit is another large
builder of homes. The Census Bureau did not estimate the popu­
lation there for 1924, but based on the 1920 population Detroit pro­
vided homes for 259.2 families to each 10,000 o f population.
Many cities seem to have built homes enough to supply the demand
if a falling off in such construction is any indication. In other cities,
however, a large volume of construction continues.
Part 2 of General Table A gives the number and cost of new 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
rand total of all buildings both new and old. Previous to 1924 the
ureau included installations in the grand total. This year, however,
the total does not include installations, and the installations have
been deducted from the 1923 totals, so they are comparable with the
1924 totals.
The number of installation permits and the construction cost were
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, and no reports on installations were
received from such cities.
The bureau attempted to classify additions, alterations, and repairs
under the headings of repairs, etc., for housekeeping dwellings, non­
housekeeping dwellings, and nonresidential buildings. Many of the
cities which reported by mail, however, grouped them.
