BUILDING PERMITS IN THE PRINCIPAL CITIES OF THE
UNITED STATES IN 1930
Introduction and Summary
The Bureau of Labor Statistics received reports of building per
mits issued during the calendar year 1930 from 311 of the 319 cities
of the United States having a population of 25,000 or over. It
was necessary to send agents of the bureau to only six cities to com
pile reports from the local records, all of the other 305 cities having
replied to questionnaires sent by mail. The eight cities omitted are
small and six of these have no building code. In collecting reports
for 1922, agents of the bureau had to visit 33 %per cent of the cities
to compile the data from local records; this proportion was reduced
to 6.1 per cent in 1928, to 2.6 per cent in 1929, and to 1.9 per cent in
1930. Thus it will be seen that local building officials are now fully
alive to the value of these figures and are lending their hearty assist
ance to the bureau. The States of Illinois, Massachusetts, New
Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania, through their departments of
labor, are cooperating with the United States Bureau of Labor
Statistics in the collection of these data.
In studying the following tables it should be remembered that the
costs shown are for the costs of the buildings only and do not include
cost of land. The cost is estimated by the prospective builder at the
time of applying for his permit to build and is recorded on his appli
cation. Furthermore, the costs are for buildings in the corporate
limits of the cities enumerated. Much building in the suburbs of
large cities is therefore not included in the figures shown.
Table 1 shows the total number of new buildings and the estimated
cost of the different kinds of new buildings for which permits were
issued in the 311 cities from which reports were received for the year
1930, 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.
Permits were issued during 1930 in these 311 cities for 210,141 build
ings. Of this number, 73,201, or 34.8 per cent, were residential build
ings and 136,940, or 65.2 per cent, were nonresidential buildings. Of
the residential buildings, one-family dwellings were the most numer
ous. This class of building comprised 29.3 per cent of the total num
ber of buildings for which permits were issued. Only two other classes
of residential buildings, two-family dwellings and multifamily dwell
ings, accounted for more than 1 per cent of the total number of
buildings. Private garages were by far the most numerous class of
nonresidential buildings, accounting for 46.4 per cent of all buildings

or which permits were ssued in these cities. Of the other important
classes of nonresidential buildings, stores were the most numerous,
followed by factory buildings. In these 311 cities permits were
issued for 1,450 amusement buildings, but for only 698 churches.
The total estimated cost of all new buildings for which permits
were issued during 1930 in these cities was $1,505,779,388. For the
nrst time since the collection of these figures by the bureau the esti
mated cost of new nonresidential buildings exceeded the indicated
expenditures for new residential buildings. Residential buildings
accounted for 41.6 per cent of the total estimated cost of all buildings
and new nonresidential buildings for 58.4 per cent.
One-family dwellings accounted for a larger proportion of the total
cost than any other class of buildings, while multifamily dwellings
were next in rank. Office buildings accounted for a larger percentage
of the total expenditures than any other class of nonresidential build
ings, followed in order by stores and warehouses and schools and
libraries. Public buildings, buildings for public works and utilities,
schools and libraries, and institutions are usually erected from public
funds either National, State, county, or city. These classes of build
ings together accounted for $316,225,011, or 21 per cent of the total
estimated cost of all buildings, for which permits were issued during
3
INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY
the calendar year 1930; in 1929, only 12.6 per cent was expended
for these types of all buildings.
The average cost per building of the new buildings for which per
mits were issued during 1930 in these cities was $7,166. The average
cost of the new residential buildings was $8,550, and of the new nonresidential buildings, $6,425. Omitting private garages, sheds, and
stables and bams, the average cost of the remaining nonresidential
buildings was $29,549 per building. Hotels showed a greater average
cost than any other land of building. In the nonresidential group
office buildings had the highest cost per building, followed in order by
institutional buildings and public buildings.

BUILDING PERMITS IN PRINCIPAL CITIES
Comparing permits issued in these 311 cities during 1930 with those
issued during 1929, there was a decrease of 19.9 per cent in the
number of total building operations and a decrease of 41.8 per cent
in their estimated cost. New buildings decreased 31.6 per cent in
number and 43.6 per cent in estimated cost, while additions, altera
tions, and repairs decreased 6.8 per cent in number and 29.1 per cent
in estimated cost.
Permits issued for residential buildings show a decrease of 42.3
per cent in number and a decrease of 57.6 per cent in indicated ex
penditures. All classes of residential buildings showed a decrease
in estimated cost, ranging from 23.5 per cent for “All other” resi
dential buildings to 91.3 per cent for hotels. The number of buildings
in the residential group showed decreases in all classes (except in
“All other” residential buildings, for which there was an increase of
23.2 per cent), the decreases ranging from 41.2 per cent for 1-family
dwellings to 71.3 per cent for hotels.
New nonresidential buildings showed a much smaller rate of de
crease in 1930 as compared with 1929 than did new residential build
ings, having decreased only 24 per cent in number and 26.1 per
cent in estimated cost. Ten classes of buildings in the nonresidential
group showed decreases in number ranging from 0.7 per cent for
institutions to 52.1 per cent for public garages. Increases in number
were registered in five classes of buildings in the nonresidential group,
these increases ranging from 0.1 per cent for schools and libraries
to 93.9 per cent for amusement buildings. Only two classes of
buildings in the nonresidential group showed increases in the indi
cated expenditure, namely, amusement buildings and service stations;
the decreases for the other classes of nonresidential buildings ranged
from 0.5 per cent for public works and utilities to 54.8 per cent for
stables and bams. It will be noted that the estimated expenditures
for public buildings, public works and utilities, and schools and
libraries showed very small percentages of decreases in indicated ex
penditures. On the other hand, commercial building, such as stores
and warehouses, factories and workshops, and office buildings, showed
relatively large percentages of decrease.
Families Provided for, 1929 and 1930

INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY
During 1930 permits were issued for 72,941 dwelling houses of vari
ous kinds to house 130,503 families. This compares with 252,766
families housed by the 126,516 dwellings for which permits were issued
in these 311 cities during 1929, a decrease of 48.4 per cent in the num
ber of families provided for.
One-family dwellings provided 47.2 per cent of the living quarters
for which permits were issued during 1930 as compared with 41.5 per
cent of the family dwelling units provided during 1929. Multifamily
dwellings, in contrast, showed a decrease in the per cent of dwelling
units provided, dropping from 44.3 per cent of the total in 1929 to
38.5 per cent in 1930. The per cent of families provided for, to be
housed in 2-family dwellings, rose from 10.3 in 1929 to 11 in 1930,
while the proportion to be housed in one and two family dwellings with
stores combined remained the same for both years.
The size of apartment houses was practically the same in both years,
the average number of families per building being 16.8 in 1929 and
16.7 in 1930.
The average cost of these apartment houses during 1930, as shown
in Table 1, was $63,986. The average cost of the apartment houses
for which permits were issued during 1929 was $73,695.
Per Capita Expenditure for Buildings, 1930
Table 4 shows for 1930 the per capita expenditure for new buildings,
new housekeeping dwellings, repairs and alterations, and for all kinds
of buildings in each of the 311 cities for which reports were received
for the calendar year 1930, the total number of families provided for,
and the ratio of families provided for to each 10,000 of population in
these 311 cities.
Indicated expenditure for all building operations in these 311 cities
during the calendar year 1930 was $1,766,144,666. The total popula
tion of these cities was 47,091,551; thus the per capita expenditure
for all building operations was $37.51. Of this amount, $31.98 was
for new buildings and $5.53 was for repairs and alterations. Of the
amount spent for new buildings, $12.16 per capita was for house
keeping dwellings.

* Actual enumeration.
During 1930 permits issued for new buildings showed an estimated
expenditure of $1,450,656,720. This is less than the expenditure for
any of the other years since 1921. The index number of expenditures
for total new buildings stands at 92.2 for the year 1930, if the 1921
expenditures are taken as 100. The peak year was 1925, when the
index was 241.9. Expenditures for new residential buildings de
creased much more rapidly than for new nonresidential buildings.
A peak of 262.6 was reached in 1925, followed by a gradual decline
to an index of 152.9 in 1929; an abrupt decline occurred during 1930
to an index of 64.1. New nonresidental buildings followed prac
tically the same trend, the index number rising to a peak of 211.4
in 1925 and falling gradually to 178.6 in 1928. A slight rise, to
180.4, occurred in 1929; the 1930 index number was 133.6.
11
BUILDING OPERATIONS, 1921 TO 1930
The population of these 257 cities, according to the 1930 census,
was 44,850,467. In 1930, 125,322 families were provided with
dwelling places in new buildings. This is at the rate of 27.9 families
for each 10,000 of population. In 1925, 121.8 families were provided
for to each 10,000 of the population. The population of these 257
cities has increased 22.6 per cent since 1921, but the number of fami
lies provided for has decreased 44.2 per cent. The index number of
families provided for, adjusted to the population, reached a peak of
198.4 in 1925, but fell to 91.1 in 1929 and then to 45.5 in 1930.
The index number of families provided for, adjusted to population,
is obtained by dividing the index number of families provided for by
the index number of the population. In other words, while 55.8
per cent as many families were provided with dwelling places in 1930
as in 1921, the population of these 257 cities increased 22.6 per cent
during this period, and therefore, in proportion to the population,
only 45.5 per cent as many families were provided for in 1930 as in
1921.

3Includes multifamily dwellings with stores.
The average cost of the 1-family dwellings for which permits were
issued during the year 1921 in these 257 cities was $3,972. There
was a slight increase in the average cost of 1-family dwellings each
year over the preceding year from 1921 to 1928, inclusive, a slight
drop in 1929, and another rise in 1930. The index number of the
cost of 1-family dwellings, based on 1921 equaling 100, stood at 124.3
in 1928, decreased to 123.7 in 1929, and rose to 125.7 in 1930.
The 2-family dwellings for which permits were issued during the
year 1921 cost $3,762 per family. The price increased until a peak of
$4,480 was reached in 1926, since which time a decline in the average
cost of this class of dwellings has taken place each year. In 1929 the
average cost was $4,020, and in 1930, $3,924. At the peak, in 1926,
the index was 119.1, in 1929 it was 106.9, and in 1930, 104.3.
12
BUILDING PERMITS IN PRINCIPAL CITIES
The curve of per-family cost in the erection of apartment houses
has been more broken than that for either 1-family dwellings or
2-family dwellings. The average per-family cost of the multifamily
dwellings for which permits were issued in 1921 was $4,019; it fell
slightly in 1922, rose for each of the years 1923 and 1924, fell again
in 1925 and 1926, slightly increased in 1927, fell slightly in 1928,
and rose sharply in 1929. The index number in 1929 was 109.5 as
compared with the peak of 109.9 in 1924. The average cost during
the peak year 1924 was $4,418 per family unit. During 1930 the*
average per-family cost of the multifamily dwellings for which
permits were issued in these cities was $3,857— the lowest shown
for any of the 10 years under discussion.
The average cost of all classes of dwellings for which permits were
issued in these 257 cities was $3,947 in 1921 and $4,464 in 1925, the
peak year. The 1930 cost in these cities was $4,385, which was less
than that for any other year since 1924.

Reports have been received by the Bureau of Labor Statistics from
257 identical cities continuously from 1921 to 1930. In these 257
cities 125,322 family dwelling places were provided in new buildings
during 1930. This is the lowest number provided for during any
calendar year since the collection of such data by the bureau. During
1925, the peak year, 491,222 family dwelling units were provided
in new buildings in these 257 cities, but there has been a gradual
decrease each year since that time.
The number of families provided for in 1-family dwellings also
reached a peak in 1925 and has been declining steadily since that
time.
The year 1923 saw the peak number of 2-family dwellings erected.
During 1930 the number of families provided for in 2-family dwellings
BUILDING OPERATIONS, 1921 TO 1930
13
was less than one-sixth of the number provided for in this class of
dwellings during 1923.
For the years 1921 to 1925, inclusive, a larger percentage of the
total number of family dwellings provided were in 1-family dwellings
than in apartment houses. During the years 1926 to 1929, however,
this situation was reversed, but, in 1930, 1-family dwellings again
provided for more families than the apartment buildings. In 1921,
58.3 per cent of all family dwelling units provided were in 1-family
dwellings, but this percentage decreased each year, with some fluctu
ation, until 1928 when a low point of 35.2 per cent was reached.
In 1930, 45.7 per cent of all family dwelling units provided were in
1-family dwellings.
In 1921 only 24.4 per cent of the family dwelling units were in apart
ment houses. In 1928, 53.7 per cent of all family dwelling units pro
vided were in apartment houses. In 1930,42.2 per cent of the families
provided for were to be housed in multifamily dwellings. Twofamily dwellings provided for 12.1 per cent of the total number of
families housed in new buildings in 1930.
Duiing the 10 years 1921 to 1930, inclusive, dwelling places have
been provided in new buildings for 3,616,397 families in these 257
cities reporting. Of this number, 44.0 per cent have been housed in
1-family dwellings, 39.4 in multifamily dwellings, and 16.6 per cent
in 2-family dwellings.
Five Leading Cities, 1921 to 1930
The five leading cities in total building permit expenditure in 1930
were New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Washington.
In the 10 years 1921 to 1930, New York, Chicago, ajid Los Angeles
have been among the five leading cities each year. Philadelphia has
been included in the list of five leading cities for every year except
1921, when it was displaced by Cleveland. Detroit has been one of
the five leading dties each year except 1930, when Washington sur
passed it in expenditures for total building operations.
Table 8 ranks the cities according to their total expenditure for
building construction of all kinds as shown by the permits issued.
Table 9 shows what has been done, in proportion to their size, in the
construction of family residential units, in the five cities leading in
this particular feature.
During 1930, permits issued for new dwellings showed that homes
were to be provided for 130,503 families, which is at the rate of 27.7
families to each 10,000 of population. Following is a list of the five
leading home-building cities in proportion to their population for the
years 1921 to 1930, inclusive. The figures show the number of
families provided for per 10,000 population, according to the latest
estimates available each year, except 1930, as prepared by the
Bureau of Census. The 1930 ratios are based on the 1930 census
enumeration figures.

i 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 the 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.
3 Population not estimated in 1924 or 1925; 1923 estimate used.

APARTMENT-HOUSE CONSTRUCTION
Prices of Building Material, and Wages, 1921 to 1930
The Bureau of Labor Statistics collects monthly the wholesale price
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 that of wholesale prices.
The index numbers shown in Table 10 for wage rates in the building
trades are wage rates for union labor only. In many cities the build
ing trades are highly organized, while in others there is much non
union labor. Although the bureau has no data concerning the trend
of wage rates of nonunion labor in the building trades, it is thought
that it follows that of union wages. Based on 1921, the index number
of wholesale prices in the building trades reached a peak of 111.6 in
1923. It decreased each year thereafter until a low point of 95.8 was
reached in 1927. There wa» an increase in each of the next two years,
but a decrease again in 1930, when the index number stood at 97.2.
The index number of union wage rates in the building trades has
climbed steadily from a low point of 93.4, reached in 1922, to a high
of 136.2 in 1930, 1921 being the base or 100.0.

Apartment-House Construction in American Cities, 1930
Building permit reports have been received by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics from 257 identical cities having a population of
25,000 or over continuously since 1921 showing the number of
families provided for in new building construction and the class of
dwellings with which they were provided. The tables below show
the percentage of families provided for in each class of dwelling for
the years 1921, 1929, and 1930.
The dwellings are divided into three classes, 1-family, 2-family,
and multifamily. A 2-family dwelling is defined as one in which one
family lives above the other, or having two families on the same floor
using a common entrance. A semidetached dwelling is one of two
with a party wall between and having separate entrance. Each is
counted as a separate 1-family dwelling. A multifamily dwelling is
a dwelling accommodating three or more families. The term is
equivalent to the more generally used appellations apartment house
or tenement.
Table 11 shows the percentage of families provided for by the dif
ferent types of dwellings in the above-mentioned years in 257 identical
cities by population groups.

1Includes 1-family and 2-family dwellings with stores.
2Includes multifamily dwellings with stores.
In these 257 cities, 125,322 families were provided with dwelling
places in the new buildings for which permits were issued in 1930;
45.7 per cent of the dwelling units provided were in 1-family dwell
ings; 42.2 per cent, in multifamily dwellings; and 12.1 per cent in
2-family dwellings. This is a decrease in the percentage provided for
in multifamily dwellings as compared with the year 1929. Each of
the population groups, except cities having a population of 500,000 or
over, showed a larger percentage of families provided for by 1-family
dwellings than by apartment houses in each of the three years under
discussion.
There is a large difference in the relative percentage of families
provided for in 1-family dwellings to families provided for in apart
ment houses in the different population groups. During 1930, in
the cities having a population of 500,000 and over, less than onethird of the family dwelling units were provided in 1-family dwellings,
while in cities having a population of 25,000 and under 50,000 over
three-fouxths of the families provided for were in 1-family dwellings.
In each of the population groups there was an increase in the per
centage of families provided for in 1-family dwellings during 1930 as
compared with the percentage of families provided for in this class
of dwellings during 1929.
Table 12 shows the percentage of families provided for by the dif
ferent types of dwellings in each of the 14 cities having a population
of 500,000 or over in 1921, 1929, and 1930.

3Less than one-tenth of 1 per cent.
In these 14 cities, only 70,199 families were provided with dwelling
places in new buildings according to permits issued in 1930. This
compares with 139,007 families provided for according to permits
issued in 1929. Both 1-family dwellings and 2-family dwellings
showed an increased percentage comparing 1930 with 1929. Multi
family dwellings, however, showed a decreased percentage. There
was a marked difference in the proportion of families provided for in
apartment houses in the several cities in this population group. For
example, New York City provided family dwelling places in apart
ment houses for 73.5 per cent of all the families during 1930. In
contrast, in Baltimore, Md., only 3 per cent of the total families
provided with dwellings places were to be housed in apartment build
ings. Other cities providing for more families in apartment houses
than in 1-family dwellings were Chicago, Los Angeles, Milwaukee,
and Washington. Cities providing for the larger percentage of their

BUILDING PERMITS IN PRINCIPAL CITIES
families in 1-family dwellings were Cleveland, Detroit, Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh, St. Louis, and San Francisco. Boston and Buffalo were
the largest builders of 2-family dwellings.
General Table
General Table A, pages 19 to 94, shows detailed information for 311
cities in 1929 and 1930. 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 dwelling
places in new buildings, and the ratio of families provided for to each
10,000 of population, for each city from which data were received for
both 1929 and 1930.
Part 2 gives the number and the cost of each of the different kinds of
new nonresidentia] 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 cost was
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
in such cities. In 1929 permits were issued for 108,458 installations to
cost $48,131,567, compared with 96,040 installations at an estimated
cost of $37,384,552 in 1930.
The bureau attempted to classify additions, alterations, and repairs
under the headings, repairs, etc., to housekeeping dwellings, to non
housekeeping dwellings and to nonresidential buildings. However,
many of the cities winch reported by mail, grouped all repairs under
the heading “ Total repairs.”
