BUILDING PERMITS Dl THE PRINCIPAL CITIES OF
THE UNITED STATES IN 1 9 25 '
INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY
Shortly after January 1, 1926, the Bureau of Labor Statistics
mailed a questionnaire to each of the 287 cities in the United States
which had a population of 25,000 or over, according to the 1920 cen
sus, asking for information regarding building permits issued during
the calendar year 1925. The questionnaire called for the number
and cost of new buildings and for the number and cost of additions,
alterations, and repairs to old buildings. The figures here presented
apply only to buildings and do not include the ground. Further, the
figures are restricted to official city limits and do not take into con
sideration suburban development.
As in 1924, full reports were received from 274 of these cities, but
2 of the cities which reported for 1924 did not report for 1925. How
ever, schedules were received this year for the first time from Fort
Smith, Ark., and Wichita Falls, Tex.
' Over 85 per cent of these cities sent in their schedules by mail,
either direct to the bureau or to the State bureaus, and the latter
forwarded these to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The States of
New York, Massachusetts, Illinois, and New Jersey are now cooperating
with the bureau in this work. About 15 per cent of the reports had
to be obtained by sending agents to compile the data from city
records.
Table 1 shows the total number of new buildings and the estimated
cost of each of the different kinds of buildings for which permits were
issued in the 274 cities from which schedules were received for the
year 1925, 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 Earlier reports concerning building permits issued in the United States are published in Bulletins
Nos. 295,318,347,368, and 397 of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and in the Monthly Labor Review for
July, 1921; April, 1922; July, 1923; October, 1923; June, 1924; October, 1924; June, 1925; September, 1925;

i Less than one-tenth of 1 per cent.
This table shows that of every dollar spent for building in these
274 cities 64.7 cents were spent for residential buildings against 35.3
cents for nonresidential buildings. This is practically the same
proportion as was shown in 1924, when 64.6 per cent of the money
spent for the erection of buildings was spent for residential buildings
and 35.4 per cent for nonresidential buildings.
It should be borne in mind that the costs shown in these tables are
estimated costs declared in most cities by the prospective builder at
the time of applying for his permit to build. Frequently the figures
are under the real cost of the building. Many cities charge fees
according to the cost of the building and this may cause the builder to
underestimate the cost. Another cause of underestimation is that
builders think that a low estimate will make their tax assessment
lower. On the other hand, a builder may overestimate the cost and
show such statement to a prospective purchaser.
In some cities the building commissioner checks over the cost and
requires the builder to correct his figures. In many places, however,
the estimate given is accepted if it is apparently reasonable.
It should also be borne in mind that the data show merely the
number of buildings for which permits were issued and that there is
3
INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY
more or less delay before work starts on the building, and considerable
time often elapses before the building is ready for occupancy.
More one-family dwellings were erected in these 274 cities than any
other class of building and more money was spent for their construc
tion than for the construction of any other kind of building. Onefamily dwellings made up 41.7 per cent of all buildings for which
permits were issued and cost 28.2 per cent of the estimated cost of all
buildings. Private garages were tne next most numerous, comprising
37.1 per cent of all buildings but only 2.3 per cent of the total cost of
all buildings. Multi-family dwellings (apartment houses) ranked
next to one-family dwellings in estimated cost, $709,501,414 being
spent for their erection, or 18.6 per cent of the total amount expended
for the erection of all buildings. More money was spent for the
office buildings than for any other class of nonrcsidential buildings,
their estimated cost being 6.9 per cent of the total estimated cost of all
new structures.
The last column in the table shows the average cost of each kind of
building. These averages range from $422, the average cost of a pri
vate garages, to $502,333, the average estimated cost of the 342 hotels
erected in these 274 cities. The 1924 report (Bulletin No. 397) shows
the estimated cost of the 331 hotels for which permits were issued in
1924 was only $275,531. The 1925 average of over a half million
dollars per hotel gives some idea of the large size of hotels now in
process of construction in these cities.
The average cost of one-family dwellings in 1925 was $4,567 com
pared with $4,314 in 1924, and the average cost of structures of all
kinds was $6,766 compared with $5,721 in 1924.

In the 272 cities from which reports were received 507,096 families
were provided with living quarters in new buildings in 1925 as com
pared with 455,775 in 1924, an increase in housing units of over 11

BUILDING PERMITS IN THE PRINCIPAL CITIES IN 1025
One-family dwellings cared for 214,685 families in 1924, or 47.1
per cent of all families provided for, as against 234,026 families, or
46.2 per cent in 1925. Multi-family dwellings which provided 29.5
per cent of all new housing units in 1924 provided for 33.8 per cent
in 1925. Two-family dwellings provided for only 77,366 families
in 1925 compared with 87,962 in 1924.
Table 3 shows the number and the percentage distribution of fami
lies provided for in tiie different kinds of dwellings in the 257 iden
tical cities from which reports were received in each of the five years,
1921, 1922, 1923, 1924, and 1925. For convenience, one-family
and two-family dwellings with stores combined are grouped with twofamily dwellings, and multi-family dwellings with stores combined
are grouped with multi-family dwellings.

In 1925 housing accommodations for 491,222 families were pro
vided in new buildings in these 257 cities. The largest number pre
viously provided for m any year was 453,673 in 1923. In 1921 only
224,545 families were provided for, or less than half of die number
provided for in 1925.
One-family dwellings provided for 58.3 per cent of the total number
of families provided for by all new buildings in 1921. The percentage
dropped to a low point of 45.8 in 1923, rose to 47.6 in 1924, and dropped
again to 46 in 1925. Except for 1924, the percentage of families
provided for in apartment houses was higher each year than the pre
ceding year, rising from 24.4 per cent in 1921 to 33 per cent in 1923.
The falling off in this class of dwelling in 1924 to only 30.9 per cent of
the total nousing provided for was commented on at the time as
possibly presaging a different trend—that is, a greater turning to the
single-family dwelling. However, the rise of this type of dwelling
in 1925 to the high point of 36.4 per cent shows that the apartment
house has not yet lost its popularity. More families were provided
for in new apartment houses in these 257 cities in 1925 than were
provided for in all one-family dwellings and two-family dwellings
m 1921, and almost as many as were provided for by one-family
dwellings in 1922.
A further illustration of the trend of family habitation toward the
apartment house is shown by the fact that the number of families
provided for in multi-family dwellings has increased from 54,814 in
5
INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY
1921 to 178,918 in 1925, an increase of 226.4 per cent. In tho same
period the families accommodated in one-family dwellings increased

In the 272 cities from which reports were received for both 1924
and 1925, permits were issued for 561,564 buildings at an estimated
cost of $3,805,427,154 in 1925 compared with 561,149 buildings
costing $3,207,907,852 in 1924. This is an increase in buildings of
one-tenth of 1 per cent and in money expended of 18.6 per cent.
Residential buildings increased 6.2 per cent in number and 18.9
per cent in estimated cost in 1925 as compared with 1924, while
nonresidential buildings decreased 6 per cent in number and in
creased 18.1 per cent in estimated cost.

BUILDING PERMITS IN THE PRINCIPAL CITIES IN 1925
The amount of money expended for the erection of apartment
houses increased 27 per cent in this period compared with an increase
of expenditure for single-family dwellings of 15.7 per cent.
The greatest increase (29.3 per cent) took place in the number of
“ other” residential buildings which include clubs with bedrooms,
Y. M. C. A. buildings, etc. They also showed an increase of 90 per
cent in the estimated expenditure in 1925 as compared with 1924
As shown by reports from these 272 cities in 1925, the United
States continues to spend more for amusement buildings than for
churches, the estimated expenditure for the former class of buildings
being $116,283,961, while that for the latter was only $63,438,306,
increases of 96.4 and 8.6 per cent, respectively.
For the first time since the bureau has been compiling these figures
the number of private garages decreased as compared with the
previous year, a loss of 16.7 per cent taking place in 1925 as compared
with 1924.
VOLUME OP CONSTRUCTION, 1914 TO 1925
The Bureau of Labor Statistics, in the Monthly Labor Review for
July, 1925, published an article showing the relative changes in the vol
ume of building construction in 130 identical cities reported by year
from 1914 to 1924. The 1925 figures as to volume of construction
are now available.2 The purpose of Tables 5 and 6 is to show how
much the country as a whole and the cities individually have over
come in the past few years the shortage in building occasioned by
the war-time curtailment of construction.
In using these figures it must be borne in mind that they relate
to new construction of all kinds, covering both residential and nonresidential buildings, and are limited to the 130 cities for which the
bureau has permit data each year back to 1914. Further, the
figures are restricted to city limits and thus do not include buildings
erected in suburbs. Some cities, however, have had an enlargement
of area in the 12-year period.

INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY
7
Table 5 shows the aggregate value of all buildings erected, as stated
on permits issued in 130 identical cities, from 1914 to 1925, inclusive,
together with the index numbers of this value, of cost of building
material, of wage rates in the building trades, of cost of construction
with material and labor combined, of volume of construction, and of
population.
The index number <>f the aggregate value of all buildings con
structed was obtained by using the cost of buildings (as shown by
permits issued) during 1914 as 100. The building material and 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 construction it was necessary
to get the proportionate cost of material and labor in building as of
some one year, and to apply to these figures the change in price from
year to year in the two items, material and labor. According to
figures complied by'M r. Barclay White, a builder of Philadelphia,
and presented to both the Philadelphia and the National Conference
of Construction Industries early in 1921, skilled and unskilled labor
together formed 36.99 per cent of the cost of building; and costs of
materials, 42.88 per cent. The remainder of this cost is chargeable
to supervision, insurance, engineering, etc. These figures are as
sumed to be as of 1920.
Mr. White’s figures were based on records kept on eight build
ings described as follows:
The relative values of the various parts of the building have not been very
carefully studied heretofore but we have made an attempt to fix an approximate
proportion covering the whole building field in this territory. Wc nave gone
about this by taking a composite of building, which includes a reinforced concrete
factory building; slow burning or heavy construction ware house building with
brick walls; the typical style of two-story dwelling; detached brick and frame
residence; stone schoolhouse with wood floor construction; fireproof institutional
building; the apartment house; and the steel frame office building. I think you
will agree with me that these eight classifications come pretty near to covering
the whole field in private building work.
According to Mr. White’s figures the ratio of cost of materials to
labor in construction in 1920 was 64 to 46. In 1920 the buildingmaterial wholesale price index number of the Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics 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 the base year of the table
as it is the earliest year for which permit valuation figures are avail able.
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 this cost will make no difference
in the index numbers for cost in the construction.
The index number for the amount of building done was obtained
by dividing the aggregate valuation index for each year specified by
the cost-ox-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.
The chart on the next page illustrates in graphic form the infor
mation carried in Table 5.

BUIUMNU PEK MIL'S XX THIS PRINCIPAL CITIES IN 1925
As shown by the"chart the index of the aggregate value of all
building constructed reached a peak of 475 in 1925— that is, for
every dollar spent in building construction in 1914 there were spent
$4.75 in 1925. On the other hand, the cost-of-constraction index
climbed steadily until a peak of 235 was reached in 1920 but declined
to 183 in 1922, and although rising thereafter the index number was

lower in 1925 than in 1920, being 212 in 1925. In other words, a
house which cost $5,000 in 1914 would have cost $11,750 in 1920,
$10,350 in 1924, and $10,600 in 1925.
Assuming that the buildings erected in 1914 cared for the needs
of the population at that time, then the line of population increase
is the normal line of necessary construction increase. It can be readily
seen from the chart how the line of actual construction has varied

from this normal trend. The two lines reached the same point, 102,
in 1915. In 1916 the amount of building done was 10 points over the
population index. For the next five years, 1917 to 1921, the index
of building done fell below the population index. This curtailment of
building during the war and the early reconstruction years is what
brought about the great shortage of buildings, dwellings especially.
The low point in building was 36 in 1918 or 73 points below the
building requirements for that year. The year 1922 was the first
year after the war in which there was a surplus of building over
normal requirements as measured by 1914 standards. The next
three years, 1923, 1924, and 1925, each showed an excess of building
over normal requirements for the specified year, as shown by the
population line. At the end of 1924 the figures show that the shortage
during the war period had been more than made up. The 11-year
average of building done stood at 115.5 while the average population
index for the same period was 111. Now 1925 shows a surplus of
100 points over the normal needs for the year, making the 12-year
average (1914 to 1925, inclusive) of building done 124.5 as compared
with a 12-year average of normal building requirements of 112; tnat is,
over this period there is a 12% point surplus of construction over the
normal needs of new construction, or in other words in the country
as a whole, as indicated by the 130 cities, at the end of 1925, 11.2
per cent more new construction had been done than was necessary
to meet normal needs. This conclusion is based on the assumption
that the building done in 1914 supplied the needs of that year.
The following table lists the 130 cities separately, showing the
index of building done and the population index for each year since
1914. The figures for 1914 stand at 100 for both items in all cities.
Unfortunately, comparison of volume of building with growth of
population can not be made in some of the cities because the Census
Bureau did not estimate the population of certain cities in which
conditions were so unusual that the ordinary rules for estimating the
population changes evidently would not apply. For instance, for
Los Angeles, the Census Bureau estimated tne population up to 1923
for which year the population index was 155 and the building index
565. Thus, while in this report the building construction index for
the average of the 12 years is given, it can not be compared with that
of population because after 1923 the Census Bureau decided not to
venture an estimate on population. Detroit, Mich., and Akron,
Ohio, are other cities for which the Census Bureau has not made an
estimate for each year. However, for most of the cities the popula
tion figures are available.
In arriving at a total of population for the 130 cities as a whole,
the last estimate made was used where no estimate was mado
for the specified year.

EXPLANATION OF GENERAL TABLE
General Table A, pages 14 to 83, shows detailed information con
cerning building operations in specified cities in 1924 and 1925. The
table is divided into three parts.
12
BUILDING PERMITS IN THE PRINCIPAL CITIES IN 1925
Part 1 relates to new residential buildings, giving the number and
the cost of each kind of dwelling, the number of families provided
with dwellings in new buildings and the ratio of such families to each
10,000 of population, in each city from which data were received for
1924 and 1925. 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 estimated or actual population for the specified year. The
ratio is worked on the two different bases because it is thought some
people would prefer the 1920 figures as, in most instances, they are
the latest figures compiled by census enumeration. In 1925 a census
was made by several of the States—namely, Florida, Iowa, Kansas,
Massachusetts, New York, and Rhode Island. Where these State
enumerations were made the Census Bureau did not estimate the
population but used the State census figures. The other population
figures are estimated in most cases, but they are undoubtedly more
nearly correct for their respective years than the 1920 census fig
ures would be. The estimates were made by the Census Bureau
of the United States Department of Commerce. For some cities
this bureau made no estimates.
In 1924 and in 1925 Miami provided for more families in propor
tion to population than any other city from which reports were
received. As Florida was one of the States taking a census in 1925,
the exact population for that year is given, and the table shows that
Miami provided for 1,342 families to each 10,000 of population.
Following is a list of the five cities having the highest ratio of fami
lies provided for to each 10,000 of population according to the esti
mated or enumerated population for the year specified for each year
since the compilation of such records.

611.1
Ever since 1921 California has had at least two cities in this group
of five leading cities. This year Florida joins the select group with
two cities to match the California cities.
3 The ratio of families provided for in Miami in 1924 was based on the population as estimated by the
Census Bureau for that year. In the light of the actual census taken by State enumerators in 1925 it would
seem that the estimate for 1924 was below the actual population for that year, hence the ratio here shown
for 1924 is probably higher than the actual population in that year would warrant.
4 Population not estimated in 1924 or 1925; 1923 estimate used.
EXPLANATION OP GENERAL TABLE
13
Long Beach, which led all cities in the building of new homes in
1921, 1022, and 1923, fell to fifth place in 1924 and this year dropped
out of the list altogether.
The 274 cities which reported in 1924 provided for 508,510 fami
lies, or at a rate of 136.3 families to each 10,000 of population accord
ing to the 1920 census and 123.4 families to each 10,000 of population
according to the estimate for that year. This compares with 455,775
families provided for in the 272 cities reporting for 1924, or a ratio of
122.4 families to each 10,000 of population according to the 1920
census and at a ratio of 112.2 according to the estimated population
for 1924.
Part 2 of General Table A gives the number and the cost of new
nonresidential buildings for each city from which reports were
received.
Part 3 shows the number and the cost of additions and repairs to
old buildings, the number and the cost of installations, and the grand
total of all buildings, both new and old.
The number of installation permits and the construction cost were
obtained wherever 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 installation were received
from such cities. In 1924 there were 83,790 installation permits issued
in the cities reporting installations and a total of $36,531,135 spent
for this work. This compares with a total of 90,071 permits and
with $42,156,913 expended for these installations in 1925.
The bureau attempted to classify additions, alterations, and repairs,
under the heading of repairs, etc., for housekeeping dwellings, non
housekeeping dwellings, and nonresidential buildings. Many of the
cities which reported by mail, however, grouped them. In 1924 the
total amount expended for repairs and alterations was $349,813,668
compared with $347,177,432 in 1925.
Following is a list of the five leading cities in expenditure of money
for building operations from 1920 to 1925 inclusive:
