BUILDING PERMITS IN THE PRINCIPAL CITIES OF
THE UNITED STATES IN 19261
INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY
Shortly after January 1, 1927, the Bureau of Labor Statistics
mailed a questionnaire to each of the 319 cities in the United States
which had a population of 25,000 or over, according to the estimate
of the Census Bureau as of July 1, 1926. The questionnaire called
for the number and the cost of each of the different kinds of new
buildings and for the number and the cost of additions, alterations,
and repairs to old buildings. The figures here presented apply
only to buildings and do not include the cost of the ground on which
the building is erected. Further, the figures are restricted to official
city limits and do not take into consideration suburban development
outside of the corporate limits.
Prior to 1926 forms were sent annually to the 287 cities which had
a population of 25,000 or over, according to the 1920 census. The
scope of the inquiry was extended this year to include 32 other cities
which, according to the estimate of the Census Bureau, have reached
a population of 25,000 or over since the last census.
Full reports were received from 294 cities, including 19 of the cities
which have reached a population of 25,000 since 1920. Nearly 90
per cent of these cities sent in their reports by mail, either direct to
this bureau or to cooperating State bureaus. The latter forwarded
the reports obtained by them to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The States of Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and
Pennsylvania are now cooperating with the Federal bureau in this
work. A little over 10 per cent of the reports were obtained by send
ing agents to compile the data from local records.
Table 1 shows the total number of new buildings and the estimated
cost of each of the different kinds of new buildings for which permits
were issued in the 294 cities from which schedules were received for
the year 1926, the per cent 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.

1 Less than one-tenth of 1 per cent.
A total of $3,625,325,946 was spent for new buildings in 1926 in the
294 cities from which reports were obtained. Of this amount
$2,293,316,253, or 63.3 per cent, was spent for residential buildings
and $1,332,009,693, or 36.7 per cent, for nonresidential buildings.
In 1925 reports were received from 272 cities having a population of
25,000 and over, and in these cities 64.7 per cent of the total amount
expended was for residential buildings and 35.3 per cent for nonresi
dential 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 may make their tax assess
ment lower. On the other hand, a builder may overestimate the
cost in order to impress prospective buyers.
In some cities the building commissioner checks over the cost
reported and requires the builder to correct his figures. In most
INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY

cities, however, the estimate given is accepted if it is apparently
reasonable.
It should also be remembered that the data show the number of
buildings for which permits were issued and that there is often some
delay before work starts on the building and considerable time often
elapses before the building is ready for occupancy.
More money was spent for the erection of one-family dwellings than
for any other class of building, 25.9 per cent of all money spent
for the erection of buildings in these 294 cities being spent for onefamily dwellings. The next highest expenditure of money was for
multifamily dwellings (apartment houses), their cost comprising
21.9 per cent of the total cost of all buildings.
In the nonresidential group more money was spent for office
buildings than for any other class in this group. Stores and ware
houses were the next in rank in cost in the nonresidential group.
In the number of buildings for which permits were issued, onefamily dwellings also assumed the lead, with 39.5 per cent of all
buildings. Private garages were the next most numerous class of
buildings in these 294 cities, comprising 38.9 of all new buildings.
The average cost of all one-family dwellings in these 294 cities was
$4,684, as compared with $4,567 in 1925 and $4,314 in 1924.
Hotels cost more per building than any other class of building,
the average cost of new hostelries in 1926 being $474,765. In the
nonresidential group, schools and libraries were the most expen
sive type, the average cost per building of the educational edifices
being $171,800. The average cost of churches was only $56,035
while that of amusement buildings was $140,269.
'The average cost of private garages was $396, the lowest cost per
building of any class of building shown.
In these 294 cities there were 279,857 permits issued for alterations,
additions, and repairs to old buildings, and the amount expended
on these repairs was $359,555,470. For all buildings, new and repairs
to old, there were a grand total of 787,136 permits issued and a total
expenditure of $3,984,881,416. A total of 480,873 families were pro
vided for in new buildings in these 294 cities during 1926.

There were 472,686 families provided for by all classes of new dwell
ings in these 272 cities in 1926 as compared with 508,147 in 1925, a
decrease of 7 per cent in housing units.
One-family dwellings, which provided for 234,899 families, or 46.2
per cent of all families provided for in 1925, housed only 195,973, or
41.5 per cent in 1926. In contrast, apartment houses, which pro
vided for 171,314 families in 1925, provided for 195,474 in 1926, this
being 41.4 per cent of all families provided for in 1926 as against
33.7 per cent the previous year. Two-family dwellings provided for
77,512 families in 1925 and only 58,078 families in 1926.
Table 3 shows the number and percentage distribution of families
provided for in the different kinds of dwellings in the 257 identical
cities from which reports were received in each of the six years 1921,
1922, 1923, 1924, 1925, and 1926. For convenience, one-familv and
two-family dwellings with stores combined are grouped with twofamily dwellings, and multifamily dwellings with stores combined
are grouped with multifamily dwellings.

per cent as compared with 1925, the peak year, but is the second
highest number shown in the six-year period and is more than twice
as many housing units as were provided in 1921,

INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY
The figures in this table would tend to show that we are becoming a
race of cliff dwellers, for in the year 1926 accommodations were pro
vided in apartment houses for 209,842 families, or 45.4 per cent of all
the families provided for during that year, while one-family dwellings
provided for only 188,074 families, or but 40.7 per cent of all families
provided for. This is the first year that apartment houses have
provided more new family accommodations than have one-family
dwellings in these 257 identical cities.
Since 1921 there has been an increase of 105.8 per cent in the
number of families provided for in all classes of dwellings. During
this same period, however, the number of families accommodated in
apartment houses increased 282.6 per cent, while the number provided
for in one-family dwellings increased only 43.7 per cent. The num
ber of family units provided for by two-family dwellings increased
65.5 per cent between 1921 and 1926.

BUILDING PERMITS IN THE PRINCIPAL CITIES IN 1926
There was a decrease of 11.9 per cent in the number of buildings
for which permits were issued in these 272 cities in 1926 as compared
with 1925, and a decrease of 6.6 per cent in the amount expended for
their erection. In these cities residential buildings decreased 17.2
per cent in number and 8.5 per cent in estimated cost, while nonresidential buildings decreased only 6 per cent in number and 3.3
per cent in cost.
While there was an increase in the amounts spent for churches
and amusement buildings in 1926 as compared with 1925, the in
crease in expenditures for amusement buildings was at a much
higher rate than that for churches. The amount expended for
theaters, etc., increased 14.7 per cent while the amount spent for
places of worship increased only 1.8 per cent.
The only two classes of residential buildings to show an increase
in the amount expended were apartment houses and apartment
houses with stores combined.
There was a notable increase in the amount expended for service
stations and for public buildings. The former increased 14.5 per cent
in the amount expended and the latter 29.7 per cent.
PER CAPITA EXPENDITURE FOR BUILDINGS— HOUSING IN
RELATION TO POPULATION
Table 5 shows the total and the per capita expenditures for new
buildings, new housekeeping dwellings, repairs and additions, and
for all kinds of buildings in each of the 294 cities for which reports
were received for the calendar year 1926; the total number of families
provided for, and the ratio of families provided for to each 10,000
of population in these 294 cities; and the total expenditure for all
classes of buildings for 272 cities in 1925.
These 294 cities spent for new buildings of all kinds $3,625,325,946,
and of this amount $2,108,875,695 was for housekeeping dwellings.
The amount expended for repairs, etc., was $359,555,470, and the
total expenditure for all classes of new buildings and repairs to old
buildings was $3,984,881,416. In 1925 the 272 cities from which
reports were received spent $4,156,605,144 for all classes of new
buildings and repairs.
These 294 cities had a population of 42,700,350 on July 1, 1926,
according to the estimate of the Census Bureau. The per capita
expenditure for new buildings was $84.90, of which $49.39 was for
housekeeping dwellings. The per capita expenditure for repairs was
$8.42 and the total per capita expenditure was $93.32.

In these 294 cities housing accommodations were provided in new
buildings for 480,873 families, or at the rate of 112.6 families to each
10,000 of population. St. Petersburg, Fla., provided for more
families according to its population than any other city in the country
with a population of 25,000 or over, the ratio there being 700.3
families accommodated by new dwellings to each 10,000 of the city’s
population.
Following is a list- of the five cities having the highest ratio of
families provided for to each 10,000 of population, according to the

* 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.
*Population not estimated in 1924 or 1925; 1923 estimate used.

VOLUME OF BUILDING CONSTRUCTION, 1914 TO 1926
The Bureau of Labor Statistics for the past two years has published*
articles showing the changes in the volume of construction in 130
identical cities, each year since 1914. The 1926 figures are shown
herewith. It is the purpose of Tables 6 and 7 to show the extent to
which the country as a whole and certain cities individually have
overcome the building shortage occasioned by the war-time curtail
ment of construction.
The values of buildings constructed are obtained from the records
of local building officials covering building permits issued in the 130
cities for which the bureau has figures from 1914 to 1926. When
applying for a permit to build, the builder or owner is required to
state the cost of the proposed building. This cost may sometimes be
underestimated, but it is believed that the percentage of any under
estimation has continued to be about the same. Also, a building
planned is not always constructed within the calendar year in which
the permit is issued, and in a few instances perhaps is not constructed
at all. However, it is believed that, in the aggregate, permit valua
tions afford a fair indication of the change in value of buildings con
structed from year to year.
In using the figures presented it should be borne in mind that they
relate to new construction of all kinds, covering both residential and
nonresidential buildings,
Table 6 shows the aggregate value of all buildings for which per
mits were issued in the 130 identical cities from 1914 to 1926, together
with the index numbers of this value, of the cost of building material,
of wage rates in the building trades, of the cost of construction of a
composite building, of volume of construction, and of population.

VOLUME OF BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
19
The index number of 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 index numbers of cost of construction it was necessary to
get the proportionate cost of material and of 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 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, labor (both skilled and
unskilled) formed 36.99 per cent, and costs of materials, 42.88 per cent,
of the cost of building, the remainder of the cost being 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 buildings
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. We have gone
about this by taking a composite of building, which includes a reinforced concrete
factory building; slow burning or heavy construction warehouse 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 54 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 used as the base year in
this table as it is the earliest year for which permit valuation figures are
available.
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, therefore, would make
no difference in the index numbers for cost in the construction.
The index numbers for the amount of construction were 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.
The chart illustrates in graphic form the information presented in
Table 6.
The aggregate value of all building construction, after a decline in
1917 and 1918, climbed steadily until it reached a peak index of 475
in 1925. There was a decline to 446 in 1926. On the other hand, the
cost of construction of a typical building reached a peak of 235 in
1920, declined sharply to 189 and 183, respectively, in 1921 and 1922,

but has increased steadily ever since, reaching 219 in 1926. In other
words, a house which cost $5,000 in 1914 would have cost $11,750 in
1920, $10,350 in 1924, $10,600 in 1925, and $10,950 in 1926.
The deductions following are based on the assumption that the
buildings erected in 1914 cared for the new construction needs of the
population in that year. If such was the case, then the curve of
population increase since that year is the normal line of necessary
construction increase. It can readily be seen from the chart how
the actual construction has varied from this normal trend. The two
lines reached the same point, 102, in 1915. In 1916 the amount of
construction was 10 points over the population index. For the next
five years, 1917 to 1921, the index of amount of construction fell below
the population index. This curtailment of building during the war
and early reconstruction years brought about a great shortage of
buildings, especially of dwellings.
The low point in building is shown by the index of 36 in 1918, or
73 points below the building requirements for that year as deter
mined by population. The year 1922 was the first year after the war
in which there was an excess of new construction over the normal
requirements for the year, as measured by 1914 standards. The next
four years, 1923, 1924, 1925, and 1926, each showed an excess of new
construction over the normal requirements for the specified year, as
shown by the population line.
At the end of 1924 the shortage of the war period had been more
than made up when judged by 1914 standards. It should be noted
here, however, that standards have undoubtedly risen since 1914.
Not only money wages, but also real wages, as determined by the
purchasing power of wages, have increased and the average man
wants a better house than the one he was satisfied wdth in 1914.
He wants movie “ palaces” and larger theaters than he then had.
Many more automobiles are owned now than in 1914, and so more
garages are needed. As business has prospered, new office buildings
with up-to-date accommodations have been demanded and larger
stores have been constructed. Demands have increased also for
other kinds of buildings, so that while the figures show that at the
end of 1926 there was a surplus of new construction of 15.4 per cent
in this 13-year period over normal demands for new buildings, as
measured by 1914 standards, the actual excess of new construction
is undoubtedly not that much.
Table 7 lists the 130 cities separately, showing the index on
volume of construction and the population index for each year since
1922. The figures for 1914 stand at 100 for both items in all cities.
Because of lack of space the figures for 1914 to 1921 are not shown in
the table but wrere used in making the 13-year average.
Unfortunately, comparison of volume of construction with growth
of population can not be made in some of the cities because the
Census Bureau did not care to estimate the population of certain
cities in which conditions were so unusual that the ordinary rules
for estimating population changes evidently did not apply. For
instance, for Los Angeles the Census Bureau estimated the population
up to 1923, for which year the population index was 155 and the
building index 565. Thus, while in this article the building con
struction index for the average of the 13 years can be given, it can
not be compared with that of population because after 1923 the
22

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 population figures are available.
To obtain a total population figure for all of the 130 cities the
Bureau of Labor Statistics made an estimate for the few cities
omitted from the census estimate. These bureau figures are con
sidered sufficiently sound to include in the total, though perhaps
not strong enough to stand criticism if given severally for these
cities.

TREND TOWARD APARTMENT-HOUSE LIVING IN
AMERICAN CITIES
During recent years there has been a very rapid growth of
apartment-house living in American cities. No details are available
regarding the actual number of families now living in apartment
houses as compared with those living in single dwellings, but the
building-permit records of new construction, as compiled by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, show clearly the change that is taking
place.
Thus, in 1921, accommodations were provided by new apartment
houses for only 24 per cent of all the families provided for during that
year, whereas in 1926 the proportion provided for in apartments had
risen to 45 per cent. During the same period the provision of single
residences dropped from 58 per cent of the total to 40 per cent, and
the proportion of two-family dwellings also declined. At present,
therefore, it appears that almost one-half of the new housing accommo
dations being constructed are in the form of apartments and that the
proportion has been steadily on the increase during recent years.
The details, by years, are given in Table 8. The term “ multifamily
dwelling” as used in this table and in the other tables means all
buildings having distinct housing provisions for three or more families
and is equivalent to the more popular though less exact term “ apart
ment house.”

This change in the character of American homes seriously affects
the wage earners of the country. The social effect of the change has
been frequently commented upon, stress being laid especially upon the
fact that an increase in apartment living probably means a decrease
in home ownership. Less observed, but also very significant, is the
effect that such a fundamental change in type of building has upon
the character of the work demanded of those employed in the con

struction industry. Broadly speaking, the one-family dwelling is
primarily a matter of brick and wood, and the workers employed are
chiefly bricklayers and carpenters. The large apartment houses,
on the other hand, while still demanding the carpenter and bricklayer
also calls for structural iron and steel work, for concrete work on a
large scale, very often for elaborate stone, tile, and sheet-metal work,
and usually for a number of accessory trades which are needed very
little or not at all in the building of small residences, particularly
those of the cheaper type. As an example/many more carpenters
would be required to erect 50 dwelling houses at an average cost of
$10,000 than to erect an apartment at a total cost of $500,000.
COMPARISON OF CONDITIONS IN CITIES OF OVER 500,000
These contrasts become of still further interest when comparison
is made of the building experience of the various cities. Thus
while, as noted above, the apartment-house construction of 1926
accounted for almost one-half of the total provision of family living
quarters in all American cities combined, the several cities differed
greatly in this respect. Such differences are particularly striking in.
the case of the larger cities. There are in the United States 14 cities
of more than 500,000 population. Table 9 shows the relative im
portance of apartment houses, single dwellings, and one-family
dwellings in the construction programs of these cities for the years
1921, 1925, and 1926.
From this table it appears that in 1921 Boston showed a higher
percentage of families provided for by new multifamily dwellings
than any other city in the country. In that year 54 per cent of all
families accommodated in new housekeeping dwellings in Boston
were housed in apartments. San Francisco and Chicago each
erected a relatively larger number of apartment units that year than
did New York. In 1925, however, New York assumed the lead in
housing of families in apartment houses, caring for 60.7 per cent of
all the families provided for by new dwellings in this class of structure.
This proportion still further increased in 1926, when New York
provided homes for 133,126 families, and of this number 71.6 per
cent were cared for in apartment houses and only 16.2 per cent in
one-family dwellings, the remaining 12.2 per cent being provided
for in two-family dwellings.
Figures are shown separately for each of the boroughs of New York
City. In the Borough of Manhattan, which is Manhattan Island
alone, only seven-tenths of 1 per cent of the families provided for in
new dwellings were housed in one-family dwellings in 1921, and in
1925 and 1926 only one-tenth of 1 per cent of the total families were
cared for in one-family dwellings. The Boroughs of the Bronx and
Brooklyn also provided for a much larger number of families in
apartment houses than in one-family dwellings in each of these three
years. The Borough of Queens, while providing for more families
in one-family dwellings than in apartment houses in each year, shows
that the preponderance of single-family dwellings over apartment
units decreased from 1921 to 1925 and again in 1926. The Borough
of Richmond, in contrast to the other boroughs, built no apartment

27
houses in 1921, and in 1926 only 13.8 per cent of the total number of
families accommodated were housed in the multifamily dwellings
and 71.7 per cent in one-family dwellings.
In 1921 Philadelphia, long known as a city of homes, showed a larger
percentage of new one-family dwellings than any of the other large
cities. In that year 93.3 per cent of the total families cared for by
new construction were domiciled in single-family dwellings. How
ever, in 1925 Baltimore assumed the lead, with 89.5 per cent of its
total new family units of that year in one-family dwellings, and led
again in 1926 with 92.4 per cent.
The Pacific coast is represented among the cities of 500,000 and
over by Los Angeles and San Francisco. The former city is a far
greater builder of separate homes than the latter. In Los Angeles,
of the total families provided for in each of the three years shown,
provision was made for 50 per cent or more in single-family dwellings.
In San Francisco, on the other hand, each year showed a larger per
centage of families provided for in apartment houses than in onefamily dwellings.
Probably the three outstanding industrial cities of the group of 14
largest cities are Chicago, Detroit, and Pittsburgh, yet in Detroit
and Pittsburgh a much larger percentage of families were provided
for in one-family dwellings in each of the three years shown than by
the group as a whole. Especially is this true of Pittsburgh, where
even in 1926 the percentage of families cared for in one-family dwell
ings erected was 68 per cent. In Chicago, on the other hand, only
17.6 per cent of the families provided for in 1926 were accommodated
in one-family dwellings and 69.3 per cent were cared for in apartment
houses.
Milwaukee and Washington are cities of approximately the same
size. The population of the former was 517,000 and of the latter
528,000 on July 1, 1926, according to the estimate of the Census
Bureau. Contrast, however, their method of residential building.
In 1926 Milwaukee built 3,629 housing units. Of that number 50.4
per cent were in one-family dwellings, 30.1 per cent in two-family
dwellings, and 19.5 per cent in apartment houses, while in Washington
56.3 per cent of the 7,911 new housing units were in apartment houses,
43.3 per cent in one-family dwellings, and only four-tenths of 1 per
cent in two-family dwellings.

COMPARISON OF CONDITIONS IN CITIES UNDER 500,009
In Table 10 are shown all the cities having a population of from
25,000 to 500,000 which provided new dwellings for 200 or more
families in either 1925 or 1926. The table shows figures for 1921,
1925, and 1926, where data are available for these three years. If
the information is not available for 1921, the first year in which such
statistics were collected by the bureau, it is shown for the earliest
year available. A few of the smaller cities which have reached a
population of 25,000 since 1920 are shown only for 1926.
As a rule the percentage of families housed in apartment houses is
lower in the cities having a population of less than 500,000 than for
the average of all cities. There are some interesting exceptions,
however. For example, apartment houses furnish habitation for a
large majority of the new families provided for in most cities and
towns which are contiguous to large cities. For example, Yonkers,
White Plains, and Mount Vernon, which are suburbs of New York,
have in the past two years accommodated many more families in
new apartment houses than in one-family dwellings.
This was not true, though, in 1921. In that year Mount Vernon
built one-family dwellings to accommodate 66.3 per cent of all fam
ilies provided for and apartments to house only 17.4 per cent. In
1925 these percentages were 15.1 in one-family dwellings and 75.2
in multifamily dwellings, while in 1926 only 6.2 per cent of the families
provided for were to live in one-family dwellings and 88.5 per cent
in apartment houses. Yonkers follows practically the same trend.
In 1921, 76 per cent of the new families provided for were to live in
single-family dwellings and only 24 per cent in apartments. In con
trast, only 18 per cent of those provided for in 1926 were to dwell in
separate homes and 74.3 per cent in apartment houses.
The same thing is true of Oak Park and Evanston, suburbs of
Chicago, and Highland Park, a suburb of Detroit. All of these are
fast-growing communities, and these figures would seem to show that
the desire to own a home is not the only reason that is driving people
to the suburbs.
In general, the smaller cities of the Middle West build few apart
ment houses. A representative of a local chamber of commerce in
one of the prosperous middle western cities of about 50,000 population
made a statement to the bureau that quite a number of traveling
salesmen and others would make his city their home if it had more
apartment houses. He stated that as the husbands were away
much of the time, the wives of these prospective inhabitants did not
want houses, and that while this city is the center of a large trading
area, these families moved to other cities although not so convenient,
because of the lack of apartment houses in his city.
In the medium and smaller sized cities of New England there is a
larger percentage of two-family houses built than in the other sections
of the country. It is quite often the practice there for a man to
build a two-family house, occupy one unit himself, and rent the other
unit to help him pay for the building.
In the cities in Florida which have had such a phenomenal growth
in the past few years the one-family dwelling has been the prevailing
type of residence. In Miami in 1922, the first year for which reports
were received from that city 85.9 per cent of the total families provided

BUILDING PERMITS IN THE PRINCIPAL CITIES IN 1926
for were in one-family dwellings and 14.1 per cent in apartment
houses. In 1925, however, only 38 per cent were housed in onefamily dwellings and 56 per cent in apartment houses. The year
1926 saw one-family dwellings again predominating, with 65.4 per cent
of the total of families provided for during that year, apartments
providing for only 27.4 per cent of the total number of families. In
Tampa one-family houses provided for the majority of new family
accommodations in all three years, caring for 89.3 per cent in 1922,
74.1 per cent in 1925, and 80.3 per cent in 1926. Apartment houses
in that city provided for only 5.5 per cent in 1922, 25.9 per cent in
1925, and 19 per cent in 1926.
Sometimes two cities near each other and of nearly the same size
have quite different ratios of single family dwellings to apartment
houses. For instance, Fort Worth, Tex., in the three jrears shown
never provided for as many as 10 per cent of new housing units in
apartment houses. On the other hand, Dallas, which is about 27
per cent larger than Fort Worth, provided for 33.6 per cent of the new
families accommodated in 1926 in apartment houses and for 25.3 per
cent in 1925.
With the exception of the suburban cities, it is the general rule that
the larger the city the larger the percentage of families provided for
in apartment-houses. There are a few cities where no apartment
houses were built during these three years, among them being Terre
Haute, Ind.; Lexington, Ky.; Hamilton, Ohio; Springfield, Ohio; and
Richmond, Ind.

GENERAL TABLE
General Table A, pages 44 to 129 shows detailed information in
specified cities in 1925 and 1926. The table is divided into three
parts.
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
1925 and 1926. The ratio of families provided for is based on
the 1920 census and on the estimated or actual population for the
specified year. In 1925 a census was made by the States of Florida,
Iowa, Kansas, Massachusetts, New York, and Rhode Island. Where
these State enumerations were made the Census Bureau did not
estimate the population for that year but used the State census figures.
The other figures are estimates made by the Census Bureau of the
United States Department of Commerce.
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, alterations, 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 costs were
obtained whenever such permits were 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 data were collected
from such cities.
In 1925 there were 89,984 installation permits issued in the cities
reporting installations, and a total of $41,851,116 spent for this work.
This compares with a total of 94,982 permits and with an expenditure
of $46,364,534 in the cities reporting in 1926.
The bureau attempted to classify additions, alterations, and repairs
under the heading of repairs, etc., to housekeeping dwellings, to non
housekeeping dwellings, and to nonresidential buildings. Many of
the cities which reported by mail, however, grouped them.
