BUILDING PERMITS IN THE PRINCIPAL CITIES OF
THE UNITED STATES IN 19271
Introduction and Summary
HE Bureau of Labor Statistics here presents its eighth annual
report of building operations in the principal cities of the
United States.
The bureau wishes to thank the local building officials and the
various State organizations for their cooperation and interest in
this work. The States of Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New
York, and Pennsylvania are now cooperating with the Federal
bureau in this work.
In 1922 it was necessary for the bureau to send its agents to 33
per cent of the cities from which reports were received. In 1926 it
was necessary to send to only 10.7 per cent of the cities, and this year
agents of the bureau had to visit but 7 ^ per cent of the cities to
compile the data from the records of the local building officials.
Questionnaires asking for the number and estimated cost of each
of the different kinds of buildings for which permits were issued in
the different cities were sent to each city in the United States which
had a population of 25,000 or over, according to the latest estimate
by the Census Bureau. Replies were received from 302 cities.
The cost figures presented herewith refer only to the cost of the
building. Land costs are not included. The estimated cost is
given when application for permit to build is made. A few cities
make the owner state the actual cost of the building after com
pletion. The cost as stated on the application is then amended.
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 302 cities from which schedules were received for
the year 1927, the per cent that each kind forms of the total number,
the per cent the cost of each kind forms of the total cost, and the
average cost per building.

In the 302 cities from which reports were received for 1927, per
mits were issued for 440,876 new buildings, and the estimated expen
diture for these buildings was $3,240,441,134. Permits were issued
for 208,763 new residential buildings, which was 47.4 per cent of the
number of new buildings erected. The amount expended for resi
dential buildings was $1,961,899,529, or 60.5 per cent of the total
expenditure for new buildings in these 302 cities.
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
permit fees according to the cost of the building, and this may cause
the builder to underestimate the cost. Another cause is that builders
think that a low estimate may make their tax assessment lower.
On the other hand, a builder may overestimate the cost in order to
impress a prospective buyer.
In some cities the building commissioner carefully checks over the
plans and the cost reported and requires the builder to give abso
lutely correct figures. In most cities, however, the estimate given is
accepted if it is apparently reasonable. Reported costs do not show
the cost of the land on which the building is erected, but construction
costs alone.

INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY
One-family dwellings were the most numerous of residential build
ings and alone accounted for the largest expenditure of money of any
kind of building, either residential or nonresidential. However, if
the total of the expenditures for the two classes of apartment houses
be considered, it will be found that more money was spent for their
erection than for one-family dwellings. Apartment houses accounted
for 22.7 per cent of the total expenditure for new buildings and
apartment houses with stores combined for 2.8 per cent, a total of
25.5 per cent for the two kinds of multifamily dwellings compared
with a percentage of 24.4 for one-family dwellings.
Nonresidential buildings comprised 52.6 per cent of the total new
buildings and 39.5 per cent of the total amount expended for the
erection of these structures.
There were 232,113 nonresidential buildings erected in these 302
cities in 1927, and of this number 181,859 were private garages.
During this year more private garages were erected than one-family
dwellings. The largest expenditure for any group of nonresidential
buildings was for office buildings. The amount expended for this
class of structure was $242,853,223, which was 7.5 per cent of the
total expenditure for new buildings. Stores ranked next in impor
tance in the nonresidential group, accounting for 6.7 per cent of the
total amount spent.
The last column of Table 1 shows the average cost of each kind of
new building. One-family dwellings cost $4,805 per building in these
cities during 1927. The largest average expenditure per building in
either the residential or nonresidential group was for hotels, the
average cost of the 201 hotels for which permits were issued in these
cities being $345,240. The average cost of all residential buildings
was $9,398.
Institutional buildings accounted for the largest expenditure per
building of any class of nonresidential buildings, the average cost of
these new hospitals, “ homes,” etc., being $226,302. Office buildings
and schools followed next in order with average expenditures per
building of $191,073 and $185,833, respectively.
The average cost of all nonresidential buildings was $5,508, and of
all new buildings both residential and nonresidential, $7,350.

BUILDING PERMITS IN THE PRINCIPAL CITIES IN 1927
In the 292 cities from which reports were received for both 1926
and 1927, habitations were provided for 206,286 families in 1927.
compared with 250,897 in 1926, a decrease of 44,611 in the number
of new family dwelling places. In other words, the number of families
provided for in new buildings decreased 17.8 per cent in 1927 as com
pared with 1926.
One-family dwellings provided 41.7 per cent of the new housing
units in 1926, but only 39.1 per cent in 1927. On the other hand,
42.9 per cent of the families provided for in 1927 were provided for
in apartment houses, compared with 41.0 per cent in 1926. Twofamily dwellings provided for 12.4 per cent of the families provided
for during 1926 and 12.1 per cent during 1927.
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 year from 1921 to
1927, inclusive.

2 Includes multi-family dwellings with stores.
In 1921 there were 224,545 families provided with new dwelling
accommodations in these 257 cities; of this number 58.3 per cent
were provided for in one-family dwellings and only 24.4 per cent in
apartment houses. In no year since 1921, however, have more than
half the families provided for been housed in single family dwellings.
The percentage domiciled in new separate homes was 47.5 per cent
in 1922, fell to 45.8 per cent in 1923, rose to 47.6 per cent in 1924,
and has been falling every year since, until during 1927 only 38.3
per cent of the families cared for were housed in one-family dwellings.
In contrast, the families housed in apartment houses have shown
an increase each year over the preceding year except in 1924, when
there was a slight decrease over 1923. In 1927 the percentage of
families provided for in apartment houses was 48.3. Two-family
dwellings provided for 17.3 per cent of the total number of families
housed in new buildings in 1921, and in 1924 a peak of 21.5 per cent
was reached by this class of dwelling. The percentage has decreased
steadily since that year until it accounted for only 13.4 of all new
family housing units in 1927.
In 1921 there were 224,545 families provided for in all classes of
dwellings in the 257 cities. The number of housing units built
steadily increased, except for a slight drop in 1924, until a peak of
491,222 was reached in 1925. That is, 118.8 per cent more family
5
INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY
housing units were erected in 1925 than in 1921. During 1927 homes
were provided for 406,095 families in these 257 cities, which is 80.9
per cent more homes than were provided in 1921.

There was a decrease of 13.9 per cent in the number of new build
ings for which permits were issued in 1927 as compared with 1926
and a decrease of 11.3 per cent in the amount expended for the erec
tion of new buildings. The decrease in both the number and cost
of residential buildings was greater than the decrease in nonresidential
buildings. There was a decrease of 17.8 per cent in the number
and a decrease of 15.1 per cent in the cost of residential buildings.
Nonresidential buildings decreased 10.0 per cent in number and 4.8
per cent in cost.
All classes of residential buildings decreased both in number and
in cost except multifamily dwellings with stores combined and
lodging houses. The greatest decrease shown in the residential
group was by hotels, which decreased 34.3 per cent in number and

52.2 per cent in money expended. One-family dwellings decreased
18.9 per cent in number and 17.1 per cent in money expended in
1927 as compared with 1926. Apartment houses, however, decreased
only 9.2 per cent in number and 7.5 per cent in cost.
In the nonresidential group only two classes of buildings showed
increases in both number and cost— public buildings increasing 20.6
per cent in number and 45.7 per cent in money expended, and insti
tutional buildings (usually public or semipublic in character) increas
ing 13.4 per cent in number and 50.9 per cent in amount expended. ^
Service stations showed an increase in number, but a decrease in
cost, while public works and utilities and schools and libraries showed
a decrease in number but an increase in the amount expended in
their construction.
In 1926 the amount expended for new buildings of all classes in
these 292 cities was $3,623,987,014, of which $2,292,577,253 was for
residential buildings and $1,331,409,761 was for nonresidential build
ings. In 1927 the total amount expended for new buildings was
$3,213,205,879, consisting of $1,945,611,272 for residential buildings
and $1,267,594,607 for nonresidential buildings.
Per Capita Expenditure for Buildings
T^ABLE 5 shows the total and per capita expenditures for new buildings, new housekeeping dwellings, repairs and additions, and
for all kinds of buildings in each of the 302 cities for which reports
were received for the calendar year 1927; the total number of
families provided for and the ratio of families provided for to each
10,000 of population in these 302 cities; and the total expenditure
for all classes of buildings for 292 cities in 1926.
In these 302 cities in 1927 there was expended for building opera
tions of all kinds $3,593,839,405. Of this amount, $3,240,441,134 was
for new buildings and $353,398,271 for repairs and alterations to old
buildings. Of the amount expended for new buildings $1,860,437,041
was for housekeeping dwellings.
The 302 cities from which reports were received in 1927 had a
population on July 1, 1927, of 43,919,581, according to the estimate
of the Census Bureau. The per capita expenditure for all building
operations was $81.83, the per capita expenditure for new buildings
was $73.78, and for repairs $8.05. The expenditure per person for
homes was $42.36.
The five leading cities in per capita expenditure were Irvington,
N. J., $374.57; White Plains, N. Y ., $352.82; Evanston, 111., $343.04;
Pontiac, Mich., $325.15; and Mount Vernon, N. Y ., $314.74. Resi
dential building accounted for this large expenditure for building in
all of these cities except Pontiac. In Pontiac the large expenditure
was largely accounted for by several very large factory buildings.
It will be noted that the four cities where residential building
accounted for the large per capita expenditure are suburban cities.
Following is a list of the five leading cities in total expenditure for
building operations from 1920 to date.

In the 302 cities shown in Table 5 the number of families provided
for was 418,878; that is, new family accommodations were provided
for at the rate of 95.4 to each 10,000 of population. Irvington, N. J.,
provided for more families in accordance with its population than
any other city in the cguntry, there being 740.5 families provided for
to each 10,000 of population.
Following are the five cities having the highest ratio of families
provided for to each 10,000 of population, 1921 to 1927. In 1927
the five cities are suburbs of New York City, and, excepting Yonkers,
each has a population of less than 100,000.

i The ratio of families provided for in M iami in 1924 was based on the population as estimated b y the
Census Bureau for that year. In the light of the actual census taken b y State enumeration 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.

Expenditures for Building Operations in Representative
Cities, 1921 to 1927
HE total expenditure for new buildings was less in 1927 than for
any year since 1923, according to permits issued in 257 cities
of the United States having a population of 25,000 or over.
This fact is brought out in Table 6 below, which shows the esti
mated expenditure in these 257 identical cities for the years 1921 to
1927 for residential buildings, nonresidential buildings, and total new
buildings, the index numbers of such estimated expenditures, the
number of families provided for, the ratio of families provided for
to each 10,000 of population, the index number of families pro
vided for, and the index number of families provided for weighted
by population.

The permits issued in these 257 cities in 1921 showed an estimated
expenditure for new buildings of $1,573,127,938. A peak of money
expended for new building operations was reached in 1925, when
the estimated expenditure was $3,805,427,154 or 141.9 per cent more
than in 1921. A decrease in expenditure was shown by permits
issued in 1926, and a still further decrease by those issued in 1927.
Permits issued during 1927 indicate an estimated expenditure of
18
EXPENDITURES FOR BUILDING OPERATIONS
19
$3,137,789,130, which is 99.5 per cent more than the 1921 expendi
ture, but 17.6 per cent less than the indicated expenditure for the
peak year, 1925.
The expenditure for residential buildings also reached a peak in
1925, when the expenditure for this class of building was 162.6 per
cent more than in 1921. In 1927 the expenditure for residential
building was 103.3 per cent more than in 1921; this is 22.6 per cent
below the peak reached in 1925.
The estimated expenditures for nonresidential buildings did not
climb as high as for residential buildings. The peak expenditure,
reached in 1925, being 111.4 per cent more than in 1921. The 1927
expenditure for nonresidential buildings was 93.7 per cent greater
than in 1921, but 8.3 per cent less than 1925.
The number of families provided for by homes in new buildings
was 224,545 in 1921. In 1925 there were 491,222 families provided
for; this number decreased to 406,095 in 1927. That is, in 1925
homes were provided in new buildings for 118.8 per cent more families
than in 1921. In 1927 the number of families provided for was 80.9
per cent greater than in 1921; this was, however, 17.3 per cent fewer
than in 1925.
The population of these 257 cities was 36,575,118 in 1921, accord
ing to the estimate of the Census Bureau as of July 1 of that year,
and the ratio of families provided with dwelling accommodations in
new buildings was 61.4 families to each 10,000 of population. By
1925 this ratio had increased to 121.8, but in 1927 sank to 96.6.
The last column shows the index number of families provided for
as weighted by the population each year. It is obtained by dividing
the index number of population into the index number of families
provided for. That is, after taking care of the increase in popula
tion, 98.4 per cent more families were provided with dwelling places
in new buildings in 1925 than in 1921, and 57.3 per cent more in 1927
than in 1921.
Average Estimated Cost of Dwellings per Family
T^ABLE 7 shows the average cost each year, 1921 to 1927, of dwelling
accommodations per family in each of the different kinds of dwell
ings for which permits were issued in 257 identical cities from which
reports were received every year. The table also shows index num
bers of the cost of accommodations per family in each of the different
kinds of dwellings.
The costs as stated in the following table are estimated costs,
stated by the builder at the time of applying for his permit to build.
They apply only to the cost of the building, the cost of the land not
being included. There may be a profit or loss between the cost to
the builder and the cost to the later home purchaser.

According to the costs as stated on the permits issued in these
257 cities in 1921, the average expenditure for a one-family house that
year was $3,972. There has been an increase in the estimated
expenditure for this type of dwelling each year over the preceding
year since that date. In 1927 the average expenditure for one-family
residences was $4,830, which is 21.6 per cent more than the average
expenditure in 1921.
The average expenditure for two-family dwellings also climbed
steadily until a peak was reached in 1926. The per family expendi
ture for this kind of dwelling decreased, however, in 1927. In 1921
there was an average expenditure of $3,762 per family for two-family
dwellings. By 1926 this average cost had increased to $4,480 where
it was 1*9.1 per cent higher than in 1921. The average expenditure
decreased to $4,368 in 1927, which was 16.1 per cent above the average
cost of 1921.
The average per family expenditure for apartment houses has shown
no steady trend. The average per family cost wTas $4,019 in 1921.
In 1922 a low point of $3,880 was reached, then an increase for the
next two years, a peak for the seven years of $4,418 being reached in
1924, two more years of declining expenditures in 1925 and 1926 and a
small upturn in 1927. The average per family expenditure for dwell
ing units in apartment houses stood at $4,170 in 1927, which was only
3.8 per cent above the 1921 cost.
The above figures show the change from year to year in the amount
expended per housing unit. The figures must not, however, be
interpreted as showing the change in the cost of building a house
each year on identical plans and specifications. Plans and specifica
tions may change from year to year and cheaper or costlier houses
built. The figures show only what was spent on the buildings
constructed.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics collects monthly the wholesale
prices of building material and from such figures computes index
numbers. Retail prices as paid by builders are not available, but
it is believed that the trend of retail prices follows closely the trend
of wholesale prices.
The bureau also each year collects and compiles union wage rates
in the building trades in the principal cities of the country. Building

trades are highly organized in many cities, while in others more or
less building labor is nonunion. To a considerable extent, however,
nonunion rates are understood to move up and down in a parallel
with union wages. The movement in union rates in the building
trades may, therefore, be accepted as roughly showing the trend in
the cost of building labor. Two series of index numbers are given
in Table 8. Here it is seen that in the seven-year period building
material was highest in 1923 and lowest in 1927, .while union wage
rates were lowest in 1922 and highest in 1927. Building material
was 1.7 per cent lower in 1927 than in 1921, while building trade
wage rates were 28.5 per cent higher in 1927 than in 1921.

Apartment-House Living in American Cities, 1927
U ILD IN G permits issued in cities of the United States having a
population of 25,000 or over during the year 1927 clearly show
that the proportion of families housed in multifamily dwellings
is still increasing.* A multifamily dwelling is one designed to accom
modate three or more families. The term is equivalent to the less
definite term “ apartment house” or tenement house.”
Records from 257 identical cities from 1921 to 1927 are shown
below in Table 9. In 1921 only 24.4 per cent of the families housed
in new buildings were accommodated in multifamily dwellings com
pared with 58.3 per cent housed in one-family dwellings. By 1926
the percentage housed in multifamily dwellings had risen to 45.4 and
that housed in one-family dwellings had fallen to 40.7. Permits
issued for new buildings during 1927 reveal another decrease in the
percentage housed in one-family dwellings and a corresponding
increase in those housed in apartment houses. Only 38.3 per cent
of the families provided for in new buildings were housed in onefamily dwellings, according to permits issued in these 257 cities
during 1927, compared with 48.3 per cent housed in apartment
houses. Two-family dwellings housed 13.4 per cent of the families
provided for in 1927, a decrease as compared with the six preceding
years.

It would seem from this information that many American cities
are becoming more like the cities of continental Europe in the charac
ter of their dwelling places than they have been in the past. In
the larger cities of continental Europe the apartment house has
long been the most prevalent kind of residential structure.
In the past most American cities have largely housed their inhabit
ants in single-family dwellings. However, while we have no details
of the percentage of families now living in apartment houses compared
with those housed in one-family dwellings, it can readily be ap
preciated that if new family accommodations, continue to be provided
in the apartments at the increasing ratios that have been shown
22
APARTMENT HOUSE LIVING IN AMERICAN CITIES, 1927
23
recently it will not be a great number of years until in many cities
the majority of the population will be housed in this class of structure.
This change in the character of the American home will continue
seriously to affect the people of the country. There probably will
be fewer home owners, which means less settled communities, for
people who own their homes move less frequently than people who
live in rented dwellings.
The wage earners as a class are also affected by this change in the
character of building. The erection of one-family dwellings gives
employment for the most part to carpenters and bricklayers. A
given amount of money spent in the erection of large apartment
houses will give employment to fewer carpenters if not to fewer
bricklayers. Further, the erection of apartment houses gives em
ployment to many trades seldom if ever used in the building of onefamily dwellings. Among these are structural-iron workers, concrete
workers, marble and stone cutters, terra cotta workers, etc.
Comparison of Conditions in Cities of Over 500,000
proportion of families housed in apartment houses is much
greater in the large cities than in the 257 cities as a whole. In
the 14 cities of the United States which have a population of 500,000
or over only 25.8 per cent of the families housed in new buildings in
1927 were cared for in one-family dwellings, while 60.8 per cent were
housed in apartment houses.
In 1921 only 34.0 per cent of new housing units were in apartment
houses, while 44.2 per cent were in one-family dwellings. In 1926
there were 281,172 families provided for in these 14 cities and 58.0
were housed in apartment houses. Thus, it will be seen that the
percentage of families housed in apartment houses was 3 points higher
in 1927 than in 1926. The total number of families housed, however,
fell to 236,113 as compared with 281,172 families in 1926.
While the percentage of families housed in apartment houses was
greater in 1927 than in 1926 in the 14 cities taken as a whole, an
increase did not occur in each city. Six cities showed a decrease in
the percentage of families housed in apartment houses and eight an
increase.
The largest increase in the percentage of families housed in apart
ment houses was shown in Milwaukee, where in 1926 only 19.5 per
cent of the families provided for that year were housed in apartment
houses, while in 1927 this percentage had increased to 42.4 per cent.
This was not due to any slackening of residential building in Mil
waukee, for 4,252 families were provided for in 1927 compared with
3,629 in 1926.
In Los Angeles practically the same number of families were
provided for in 1927 as in 1926, and the percentage housed in apart
ment houses increased from 39.8 per cent in 1926 to 51.8 per cent in
1927. Boston, Buffalo, and Chicago also provided for a much larger
percentage of its families housed during 1927 in apartment houses
than in 1926.
In contrast, Pittsburgh and Washington both showed fair gains in
the percentage of families housed in one-family dwellings in 1927 as
compared with 1926 and a corresponding loss in the percentage
housed in apartment houses. In Washington, however, this gain
may be accounted for by the fact that residential building as a whole
24
BUILDING PEBMITS IN THE PBINCIPAL CITIES IN 1927
slumped greatly during 1927 as compared with 1926. In 1926 new
homes were provided for 7,911 families, and of this number 43.3 per
cent were accommodated in one-family dwellings and 56.3 per cent
in apartment houses. In 1927 the percentage of families housed in
apartment houses fell to 52.2 and those housed in one-family dwellings
rose to 47.3. In 1927, however, dwelling accommodations were
provided for only 3,938 families.
Baltimore continues to be the leading single-family dwelling city
in the country. In 1926 this type of residence provided for 92.4
per cent of the new housing units, and in 1927 there was a still further
increase in single l-esidences to 94.4 per cent.
Figures are available for 1922 to 1925 in earlier publications but
are omitted to economize space.

APARTMENT HOUSE LIVING IN AMERICAN CITIES, 1927
25
Comparisons of Conditions in Cities under 500,000
I N TABLE 11 are shown cities having a population of 25,000 and
A under 500,000 which provided dwelling accommodations for 200
or more families in either 1925 or 1926. The table shows figures for
1921, 1926, and 1927 where data are available for these three years.
When the information is not available for 1921 it is shown for the
earliest year for which such data were collected. A few of the
smaller cities, which have reached a population of 25,000 since 1920,
are shown for 1926 and 1927 only.
That the apartment-house idea has spread rapidly to the suburban
cities is illustrated by the fact that Highland Park, a town on the
outskirts of Detroit, provided for 97.0 per cent of its new families in
apartment houses in 1926 and 97.8 per cent in 1927. This city had
an estimated population in July, 1927, of 81,700. Evanston and
Oak Park, which are located on the outskirts of Chicago, provided
for 65.1 per cent and 69.5 per cent, respectively, in apartment houses
in 1926 and for 70.5 per cent and 77.0 per cent in apartment houses in
1927. White Plains, N. Y ., provided for 66.8 per cent of its new
family units in apartment houses in 1926 and for 73.7 per cent in this
class of building in 1927. Mount Vernon, N. Y., during 1926 made
provision for 88.5 per cent of the families provided for in apartment
houses. In 1927 the percentage fell to 83.7.
Also smaller cities not near big cities in some cases are building
quite a number of apartment houses. Allentown, Pa., which in
1926 provided for only 5.8 per cent of the families provided for that
year in apartment houses, in 1927 provided for 23.1 per cent in these
multifamily structures. The percentage increased from 11.6 per
cent in 1926 to 23.0 per cent in 1927 in Charleston, W . Va., and from
10.2 per cent to 28.5 per cent in Asheville, N. C.
The smaller and medium sized cities of the Middle West and the
South are as a rule builders of one-family residences, while the New
England cities build a much larger percentage of two-family dwell
ings than the other sections of the country.

General Table
ENERAL TABLE A, pages 33 to 105 shows detailed informa
tion for 302 cities in 1927 and 292 cities in 1926. The table
is divided into three parts.
Part 1 relates to new residential buildings, giving the number and
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 population in each city from which data were received for
1926 and 1927. The ratio of families provided for is based both on
the 1920 census and the estimated population for the specified year.
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
grand total of all buildings, both new and old.
The number of installation permits and their construction costs
were obtained whenever such permits were issued by the building
inspector. In a number of cities, however, these permits were issued
by officers other than that of the building inspector and no data were
collected for such cities.
In 1926 there were 93,148 installation permits issued in the cities
reporting installations, and a total of $45,844,096 was spent for this
work. This compares with 79,263 permits and with an expenditure
of $38,384,724 in the cities reporting in 1927.
The bureau attempted to classify additions, alterations, and repairs
under the headings repairs, etc., to housekeeping dwellings, non
housekeeping dwellings, and to nonresidential buildings. Many of
the cities which reported by mail, however, grouped them.
