By 1956, about 7, 000 p e rm it-issu in g p la ce s w ere reporting to the Bureau. The presen t bulletin, which continues the s e r ie s on building p e rm its, is designed as a r e s e a r c h tool as w ell as a statistical handbook. It p resen ts the b a sic data fo r maintaining the continuity o f the s e rie s through its h istory of continuous expansion. In addition, it presen ts the sta tistics in com plete detail fo r the y ea rs 1954-56 and in terp rets these data in the p e rsp e ctiv e of the tim es. A set of six tables containing annual su m m aries fo r 1957 and 1958 has been added to supplement the statistical r e c ord , although the analysis o f the building perm it data does not extend beyond 1956.

BACKGROUND AND SCOPE OF THE SERIES The Bureau*s s e r ie s on b u i l d i n g c o n s t r u c t i o n for which p erm its w ere issu ed has been expanded and im p rov ed continuously s i n c e its o r i g i n in 1920. Although the num ber o f p la ce s reportin g building p erm it data to the Bureau in c r e a s e d each y e a r, a s e r ie s s h o w i n g annual volum e fo r 257 la rge citie s was used fr o m 1921 until 1929 to relate c u r rent activity to past p erform a n ce in city b u i l d i n g con stru ction . Beginning with 1929, building con stru ction trends w ere re fle cte d m ore accu ra tely through indexes based on data fro m a la rg e r and m ore represen ta tive s a m p l e o f in corp ora ted p la ce s . By 1942, the num ber of re p o rt ing p la ces had grown large e n o u g h to provide the ba sis for estim ates cov erin g the entire urban a rea o f the cou n try, as defined in the 1940 C ensus. S i n c e the building p erm it activity s e r ie s gives i n s i g h t into the e con om ic im pact on lo c a l a reas o f changes in the geograph ic spread of building co n stru c tion (resid en tia l and n on resid en tia l), it is an e sp e c ia lly valuable to o l fo r shaping p o l i c y and adm inistrative d e cisio n s by State and lo c a l governm ents and planning a g en cies. It a lso p rov id es national agen c ie s and r e s e a r c h groups with inform ation on im portant area deviation s, which in con stru ction , is e s s e n t i a l fo r making d e cisio n s on a national sca le that take into account region a l or lo c a l situations. B usiness fir m s and labor g r o u p s also follow the trend and le v e l o f ov e r a dozen differen t k i n d s of building con stru ction in sp e c ific l o c a l i t i e s to determ ine in which a r e a s ,o r parts of areas,,their p rod ucts or sk ills are being u sed, and w here and how great d e m a n d w ill be in the future. M o re o v e r, b eca u se these sta tis tic s p r o v i d e a quantification o f the d i s p e r s i o n o f new building within the pa rts o f m etropolitan areas (cen tra l citie s and suburbs), they are helpful in c o m munity planning, m a r k e t a n a ly sis, and s o cia l and e con om ic r e s e a r c h requ iring cu rren t and dynam ic in form ation a b o u t the m e t r o p o l i t a n a r e a econ om y and socie ty . This "urban b u i l d i n g authorized** s e r ie s was discontinued with publication o f data fo r June 1954, becau se o f the p rob lem o f resolv in g d iffe re n ce s betw een the geographic areas used fo r building p erm it system s and the urban areas as defined in the 1950 C en su s.2 In its p la ce , a "building p erm it activity s e r ie s " was inaugurated to m easure building activity 1 These data (table B-14) bring up to date statis tics for these cities for 1921-48, published in Building Construction in Principal Cities of the United States, 1921-48, U. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Washington (June 1949). 2 Urban, as defined in the 1950 Census, includes not only incorporated places of 2,500 or more popula tion, but a large number of unincorporated specially delineated localities, and the densely settled but un incorporated fringes adjacent to large cities. These un incorporated areas were defined on the basis of housing or population density and their boundaries in general are not political but follow such .identifiable physical characteristics as streets, roads, railroads, streams, etc. On the other hand, building permit systems usually cover entire political subdivisions: cities, villages, townships, counties, etc.; it is not possible to obtain reports which segregate the building activity by urban and nonurban areas within such subdivisions. This bulletin p resen ts the building p e rm it sta tistics in com plete detail fo r the y e a rs 1954-56, the p e rio d c o v e re d by the latest expansion in the s e r ie s . In addition, it gives a brief* h isto ry o f the s e r ie s , d e s c rib e s the scop e and lim ita tions o f building p e rm it data, fu rn ishes in form ation fo r linking the m o st recen t sta tistics with those fo r y e a rs p r io r to (i) 2 in all p e rm it-issu in g p la ce s in the United States. The new se rie s begins with data fo r January 1954, and thus p rov id es a 6-m onth ov erla p p eriod fo r w hich statis tics fr o m both s e r ie s are available for com p a rison and fo r linking p u rp oses. In prep aration fo r establishm ent of the p e rm it-issu in g u n iv erse, an intensive e ffo rt was made during 1953 and ea rly 1954 to locate and obtain re p o rts from all p la ce s having building p erm it system s — p r a c tic a lly all l a r g e c it ie s , a large prop ortion o f sm a ller c it ie s , and num er ous un in corporated tow ns, t o w n s h i p s , d i s t r i c t s , and entire cou n ties. It is b e lie v e d that virtu ally all p e rm it-issu in g lo c a litie s (o v e r 7, 000) w ere covered'. Among the fundamental pu rp oses of the building p erm it s y s t e m is the en fo rce m e n t of zoning r e s t r i c t i o n s and structural requ irem en ts related to safety, fir e preven tion , and health con sid era tion s. As a n e c e s s a ry step in en forcem en t, the builder or owner of a p ro p o se d structure is req u ired to obtain a p erm it to build. The p erm it d e s c rib e s the p ro p o se d con struction and its estim ated c o s t at the tim e o f application; the detail req u ired v a rie s among lo c a litie s . This in form a tion is c o lle c te d fr o m the building p erm it o ffic ia ls by the Bureau on a questionnaire fo r m (B LS 404) which is m ailed to them each month. In addition to the building p erm it data re p orted by building o ffic ia ls , the Bureau*s s e r ie s includes the amount of con stru ction c o n t r a c t s a w a r d e d fo r F ed era l p r o je cts and fo r public housing (F e d e ra l, State, and lo ca l) in p e r m it issu in g p la c e s . L ikew ise, p r o je c ts under v a riou s F e d e r a l a i d p ro g ra m s (e. g. , sch ools and h ospitals) are included when it has been determ ined by corre sp o n d e n ce that the building o fficia l did not cov er them in his r e p o r t . C ontract awards in form ation fo r p r o je c ts financed w holly o r p a rtia lly with F ed era l funds is r e p orted to the Bureau d i r e c t l y by the F e d e r a l agen cies resp on sib le fo r the con stru ction ; and fo r public housing, by the agency adm inistering the p a rticu lar p ro g ra m . The s e r i e s conceptually does not include the co sts of (1) dem olishing or m o v i n g building s , (2) nonbuilding co n stru ctio n ( streets and highw ays, pip elin es, water and sew er sy stem s, and the lik e), or (3) land, l a n d d e v e l o p m e n t , and arch itectural and engineering f e e s . 3 LIMITATIONS OF BUILDING PERMIT DATA Building p erm it data are liable to the same defects as any other data c o l lected by m ail. That is , they are affected by e r r o r s in resp on se, p rob lem s of o m is sion s, and late or interm ittent reportin g. The accuracy of b u i l d i n g p erm it resp on se has never been d eter m ined co n clu siv ely . H ow ever, resp on se e r r o r s are ov ercom e as much as p ossib le by ca refu l e d i t i n g and frequent c o r r e spondence with p erm it o ffic ia ls . F ur th erm ore, re p o rte rs for all of the la rg e , active building areas have b ecom e thor oughly fa m ilia r with the fo rm and uses o f the Bureau’ s questionnaires during the many y ea rs they have b e e n submitting inform ation. F or areas of low building activity, or p la ce s where reportin g has been consistently inadequate, an abbre viated questionnaire (BLS 404B) was used until July 1957,4 as an aid in preventing resp on se e r r o r s . This short question naire r e l i e v e s the p erm it o f f i c e r of the e ffort of cla ssify in g nonresidential buildings a ccordin g to type. Omissions^ and late and interm ittent reportin g are t a k e n ca re of r o u t i n e l y by m ultiple requests fo r the data, sa tisfa ctory e s ti mating techniques, and regular re v is io n s . To obtain a definitive answer to the question of how w ell building p e r m it r e c o r d s r e fle ct the amount of build ing that actually takes place would r e quire an intensive fie ld survey in sam ple a re a s. Such a survey should take into account what p rop ortion of building is done illeg a lly , without a p erm it, and how ^ Construction on farms is included to the extent that farm buildings are covered by permit systems. By and large, however, the series relates to nonfarm build ing construction. 4 In July 1957, the Bureau’ s regular questionnaire form (BLS 404) was simplified and use of the additional questionnaire was discontinued. 3 m uch is never begun even though a p e r m it was obtained. H ow ever; fro m the r e sults o f sm all pilot studies made in r e cent y e a r s , there is an indication that the p erm it r e c o r d is a relia b le so u rce for new building activity, but is l i k e l y to understate the volum e of additions and alterations to buildings, becau se a lter ation w ork frequently m ay p r o c e e d with out drawing the attention o f the cru isin g in sp e cto r, while new building con stru ction is obvious. To the extent that va riou s kinds of new b u i l d i n g s are co v e re d by p erm it sy stem s, it a p p e a r s that virtu ally all p riva tely owned stru ctu res are rep orted . H ow ever, many p la ce s do not r e q u i r e p e r m i t s fo r pu blicly owned b u ild in gs, m ainly becau se in spection is under the j u r i s d i c t i o n o f either another l o c a l agency, or a county, State, or F ed eral agency. In som e p la c e s, buildings spon sored by the city or county governm ents requ ire a lo c a l perm it, but State buildings are exem pt. F rom p e r i o d i c fie ld s t u d i e s in sam ple lo c a litie s , it has been determ ined that fo r new housing, at le a st, the p ro portion o f dw ellings fo r which p erm its w ere taken out but never used (the " la p s e 1 * rate) has been n egligible in recen t y ears — 1 p ercen t o r le s s since 1951. Even though no com parable surveys have been made fo r n o n r e s i d e n t i a l building, it seem s lik ely that the lapse rate would be v e ry low fo r this c a t e g o r y a lso, except, perhaps, when econ om ic con di tions are ex trem ely unusual. One reason fo r this con clu sion is that p erm it fees ord in a rily are based on con stru ction c o s t, and th erefore it would often be quite ex pensive to fo r fe it the p erm it, e sp e cia lly in the case of large p r o je c ts . Custom a rily , the p erm it is obtained after the con tract is awarded and w ork is fa irly certain to get underway. In an attempt to im prove the c o v e r age of State and lo c a l public con stru ction , the Bureau1s questionnaire i n c l u d e s a r e q u e s t that o f f i c i a l s re p o rt public buildings even though they issu e no p e r m its fo r t h e m . C om pliance with this requ est is good, but not com p lete. A lso, as m entioned e a r lie r , all F ed era l and fed era lly aided buildings are added into the building p erm it data. V arious s t u d i e s have established the fact that perm it valuation u s u a l l y understates a c t u a l con stru ction co st. This is p a rticu la rly true fo r p la ces w here sp ecial p erm its are requ ired fo r se rv ice fa cilitie s or equipment essen tial to the g e n e r a l use of the building— plum bing, heating, air conditioning, e l e v a t o r s , e le c tr ic a l w ork , e tc ., or b u ilt-in p rod u c tion equipment in industrial buildings. The co s ts of such fa cilitie s and equipment m ay be excluded fro m con stru ction co st in the general perm it b ecau se they are included in sp ecia l p erm its. P e rm it valuation is m ore n e a r l y com parable with con stru ction c o s t in a s m a l l num ber of c i t i e s in which the building co m m issio n e r rev iew s and may ask fo r re v is io n s , in the co s ts reported ; a few cities demand that the owner state the actual c o s t of the building after co m pletion. O bviously, these d ifferen ces in valuation p ra ctice tend, in som e c a s e s , to distort in tercity com p a rison s.

These changes, which are m ore meaningful in term s o f shifts in population co v e ra g e , w ill be d iscu ssed at grea ter length in the follow ing section.

Comparison of Population Coverage In term s of population, the c o v e r age o f the new perm it a c t i v i t y se rie s is significantly greater (16 percent) than that of the s u p p l a n t e d urban s e r ie s . Many of the p la ces added to the u niverse of the p erm it activity se rie s w ere rap idly g r o w i n g unincorporated areas in m etropolitan counties that r e c e iv e d the sp illover o f population fro m the cen tral 5 c itie s .

In addition, many o f the in co rp o rated v illa g e s and towns c o v e re d by the new s e r i e s but excluded fr o m the old s e r ie s becau se they w ere too sm all to be c la s s ifie d as urban in 1940, a lso w ere fast grow ing p la ce s. They contributed substantially to the g r e a t e r population co v e ra g e of the p erm it activity se r ie s in both the m etropolitan and the n on m etro politan segm ents o f the u n iverse. When the 2 s e r i e s are com pared with r e sp e ct to the gain between 1940 and 1950 in the population c o v e re d by their re sp e ctiv e u n iv e rse s, it is evident that in all 4 b roa d region s of the cou n try5 the in cre a se d co v e ra g e of the m etropolitan segm ent of the new s e r ie s w as due in part to the addition o f p la ces with a c c e l erated population g r o w t h (table A - 1). The same situation is apparent also in all region s of the nonm etropolitan uni v e r s e , except in the South w here there w ere loca ted r e l a t i v e l y m ore o f the n o n -p e rm it-issu in g p la ce s (m ainly sm all m u n icipalities) p rev iou sly estim ated fo r in the urban s e r ie s , but dropped from the p erm it activity s e r ie s . The e x p a n d e d co v e ra g e o f t h e building p erm it u n iverse includes lo c a li ties containing about 79 p ercen t o f the total- nonfarm population, 94 p e rce n t of the m etropolitan nonfarm population, and 53 p ercen t o f the nonfarm population of nonm etropolitan p l a c e s , based on 1950 Census data.

Despite its con sid era b ly in cre a sed co v e ra g e , the new p erm it activity se rie s 5 Composition of the regions is shown in chart 7, p. 19. still is rather lim ited as to the extent o f nonfarm p o p u l a t i o n co v e re d in the nonm etropolitan u n iverse. N everth eless, this is actually le s s re s trictiv e than it seem s, b e c a u s e a B u r e a u study of building con stru ction data rev ea led that p l a c e s having building p erm it system s are g e n e r a l l y m ore a c t i v e than the oth ers. Consequently, building activity in nonm etropolitan p e rm it-issu in g p la ces rep resen ts a la rg e r p rop ortion o f t o t a l nonm etropolitan b u i l d i n g con stru ction than is apparent fro m these population statistics alone. Thus, if inform ation on new building con stru ction w ere available fo r ev ery lo ca lity in the country, p erm it issuing or oth erw ise, it would probably show only a s l i g h t l y sm aller ratio of m e t r o p o l i t a n a r e a building than is evident fro m the p erm it activity s e r ie s , and a little la rg e r prop ortion of building in nonm etropolitan p la ce s. In the ca se of the m etropolitan uni v e rse of the new s e r ie s , the prop ortion o f 1950 n o n f a r m population co v e re d is above the national average in all reg ion s except the South. Even th ere, w h e r e building p erm it system s are le s s co m m on than e l s e w h e r e , the new se rie s rep resen ts 89 p ercen t of the n o n f a r m p o p u l a t i o n in m etropolitan a rea s. In nonm etropolitan a rea s, the ratio o f non fa rm population c o v e r e d is below the figure fo r the country as a w hole, both in the South and in the N ortheast, the re sp e ctiv e p rop ortion s being 48 p ercen t and 51 percen t. The 16-p e rce n t in crea se fro m the old to the new se rie s in the total amount o f population c o v e re d was shared by all States except Iowa, M ississ ip p i, Arkan sas, and V e r m o n t , w here there w ere d e cre a s e s of varying m agnitude, and the D istrict o f Colum bia, w here there was no change, o f c o u r s e , since it co n sists of one p o litica l subdivision included under a single p erm it system .

This r e fle c ts the fa ct that m ost of the p l a c e s added to the s e r i e s w ere building quite actively to take c a re of their rapidly in crea sin g population. F or exam ple, roughly 90 p ercen t (o r n early $ 4 .6 billion ) o f the building volum e of the old s e r i e s was in p e rm it-issu in g urban p la ce s c o v e r e d in both s e r ie s . That m eans the p la ce s brought into the new s e r ie s (accounting fo r only 15 p e r cent of the nonfarm population cov ered ) contributed about $3. 3 b illion , or a little m o re than 40 p ercen t of the total b u ild in gp e rm it volu m e. To illu stra te fu rth er, the p er capita building rate fo r January-June 1954 (i.e ., the amount of p e rm it v a l u a t i o n s per p e r s o n in the c o v e re d lo c a litie s) was h igh er, in g e n e r a l , fo r the p e rm it activity s e r ie s than fo r the urban author ize d s e r ie s (table A -5 and chart 1). By and la r g e , this resu lts fr o m the addition o f num erous le s s densely populated, but v e ry a ctive, suburban area s surrounding the la rg e r c itie s . Variations by Type of Building Since housing is the type o f building m o st c lo s e ly rela ted to population m ov e m en ts, and so many of the p la ce s added to the new s e r ie s w ere lo c a litie s e x p e ri encing p o p u l a t i o n in c re a se s l a r g e l y beca u se o f in m igration , it is not su rp ris ing that the higher le v e l o f the p erm it activity s e r ie s was due ch iefly to gains in resid en tia l building. Valuations fo r new resid en tia l building during the fir s t half of 1954 cam e to $4. 7 b illio n fo r all p e rm it-issu in g p la c e s , or 71 p e r c e n t m o re than the $2. 8 b illion total fo r the urban s e r ie s .

M o re o v e r, public housing, which in 1954 was loca ted alm ost ex clu siv ely in the la rg e r c itie s , was only a little h i g h e r in the new s e r i e s , and alm ost half of this in cre a se was due to the addition of a single p r o je ct built by the City of M iam i, but loca ted in Dade County, Fla. The c a t e g o r y showing the l e a s t amount of gain fro m the rebasin g of the estim ates was additions, altera tion s, and r e p a ir s , which i n c r e a s e d 21 p ercen t, fr o m $ 0 .6 billion to $ 0 .7 b illion .

In M aryland, fo r exam ple, the expansion o f the estim ating base alm ost quadrupled the total p erm it valuation figu re. The addition of the highly urbanized counties in the B altim ore and W ashington m e tro politan areas accounted fo r m ost of this in c re a s e . S im ila rly, the Delaware data p ro fite d by the addition o f the northern portion o f New Castle County, and sta tistics fo r A rizon a , by the in clu sion of M aricop a and P im a Counties® In both of these States, building p e rm it volum e was w ell over three tim es g rea ter in the new s e r ie s than in the old® States gen erally e x p erien ced gains o r lo s s e s in building volum e that w ere in the same d ire ctio n , if not in the same d e g re e , as changes in population c o v e r age.

In s e v e r a l States— Montana, Ne b ra sk a , N orth C a rolin a , North Dakota, and South Dakota— there w ere gains both in population c o v e r a g e and in building v olu m e, but the p er capita building rate in those States was low er fo r the p erm it activity s e r ie s than fo r the urban e s ti m ates. In addition, although the building rate was low er in the new s e r i e s fo r M ississ ip p i a lso , it w as higher fo r V e r mont® (See tables A -2 , A -5 , and A -8 , and ch art 1 .) Thus, it is apparent that in V e r m ont, the p la ce s rem aining in the s e rie s w ere m ore active in b u i l d i n g than the urban p la ces no longer included in the estim ates despite the fact that the latter w ere m ore p o p u l o u s .

C on v ersely, in Arkan sas, p la ces added w ere m ore active and la rg e r than those discontinued. This was true also in Iowa, but only with re sp e ct to the nonm etropolitan u n iverse. The additional cov era g e in Montana, N ebras ka, North C arolina, N orth Dakota, and South Dakota was co m p rise d m ainly o f num erous sm all v illa g es and towns where b u i l d i n g activity was at a r e l a t i v e standstill. Among the four broad re g io n s , the W est re g is te re d the la rg e s t in cre a se s in total building activity, both p ercen tage w ise and in actual dollar volum e (table A -9 ). On the other hand, using the p er capita building rate as the y a rd stick fo r com p a rison , the N ortheast s h o w e d the g rea test, and the W est the lea st, re la tive gain ov er the old s e r ie s . Inasmuch as the amount of b u i l d i n g activity per p erson in the large urban cen ters already i n c l u d e d in the estim ates was m uch g reater in the W est w here c i t i e s are new er and le s s densely settled than in the N ortheast, the addition to the s e r ie s o f many com paratively new, rapidly ex panding p la ces provided le s s of a con trast in the fo r m e r region . In both s e r ie s , the North Central States led the other three reg ion s with re s p e ct to the total valuation o f p erm its issu ed during the fir s t half of 1954, and the South, W est, and N ortheast follow ed , in that o rd e r.

COMPARISON OF MONTHLY TRENDS F rom a com p a rison o f the data fo r the fir s t half o f 1954, it appears that the m o n t h l y trend o f total building p erm it valuations was changed v e ry little by the expansion o f the s e r ie s (ch art 2 )c P r o b ably the ch ief rea son is that the volum e added to the se rie s as a resu lt o f re b a s ing the estim ates w as distributed fa irly w ell geographically* T h e r e f o r e , the seasonal trend was not greatly affected, as it w o u l d have been if m ost o f the additional volum e had been either in the North where f l u c t u a t i o n s in building activity fro m the winter low to the sum m er peak are rela tiv ely ex trem e, or in the South w here season al m ovem ents are gen erally le s s pronounced.

S. Department of Commerce) by assuming (1) that the farm population remained static between 1950 and 1956, and (2) that permit places accounted for the same proportion of the 1956 nonfarm population as they did of the 1950 nonfarm population (i.e., that permit places grew at about die same rate as nonpermit places). The first assumption resulted in a small understatement of die 1956 nonfarm figure because farm population has actually been de clining in recent years. However, die national total de rived by the procedure described above was only slight ly (about 0.5 percent) below the national nonfarm popu lation figures indicated by the latest Census Bureau estimates of the num of persons living on farms in ber April 1956. See Farm Population, Series Census-AMS (P-27), No. 24. Any error introduced by die second assumption cannot be evaluated precisely, but is prob ably minor. 19 Chart 7.

Population in cre a se d a little fa ster in the South between 1950 and 1956, but total population in 1956 was greater in the North Central States* building p erm its issu ed . (See chart 7 .) In 1956, the C aliforn ia total o f n early $3.2 billion co m p rise d 17 p ercen t of the p erm it valuation f i g u r e fo r the entire Nation. This suggests that building volum e in the northern and eastern section s of the country resu lts ch iefly fro m r e p la ce ment demand and the requ irem en ts of a l a r g e population. In the southern and w estern p a rts, h ow ever, the g r e a t e r influence a p p e a r s to be a m ore rapid in crea se in population, caused m ainly by inm igration. The next 5 highest ranking States in 1956— New Y ork, Illin ois, Ohio, M ichigan, and T exas— held* the same o rd e r o f im portance in the 2 p reced in g y e a r s , except that in 1954, M ichigan was in third place instead of Illinois* Each of those States, plus 3 oth ers— F lorid a , New J e rse y , and P ennsylvania— accounted f o r between 4 p ercen t and 8 p ercen t of the n a t i o n a l total in 1956.

New Y ork City alone, with building con stru ction v al ued at $ 0 ,5 b illion in 1956, was resp on sible fo r m o re than a third of the New Y ork State total. Building activity is i n f l u e n c e d a great deal m o re by cen tra l citie s in som e States than in oth ers (table B -1 4 ). W ell ov e r half of the 1956 total building volum e in Texas was in c itie s having a 1950 pop ulation o f 100,000 o r m o r e , with these c itie s accounting fo r 45 p ercen t o f the State*s new housing, and ov e r 60 p ercen t o f all the other building con stru ction . In c o n t r a s t , only 7 p ercen t o f the 1956 building valuation total fo r New J e rsey was loca ted in citie s o f o v er 100,000 pop ulation in 1950, C hiefly becau se so m uch o f New J e rse y se rv e s as a s u b u r b a n d orm ito ry fo r huge m e tro p o lise s in the b ord erin g States o f New Y ork and Penn sylvania, a m e r e 2 p e r c e n t o f New Jersey*s h o u s i n g volum e in 1956 was scheduled fo r its la rg e s t cen tra l c itie s , com p a red with about 15 p ercen t o f the State total fo r other kinds o f b u i l d i n g con stru ction . M etropolitan-Nonm etropolitan Location R eflectin g m a i n l y population and e con om ic growth patterns in re cen t d ec ades, the p resen t tendency is to locate m o st building within m etropolitan a rea s, that is , if not within the la rge c i t i e s p r o p e r , at lea st within com m uting d is tance. • Throughout the 1954-56 p e rio d , fo u r -fifth s o f the total value of building c o n s t r u c t i o n fo r w hich p e rm its w ere issu ed w as fo r building within the m e tro politan s e g m e n t of the c o u n t r y , and on e -fifth w a s fo r nonm etropolitan area activity. This ratio fo r m etropolitan area building is probab ly som ewhat high becau se the p r o p o r t i o n o f population c o v e re d by the building p erm it s e r ie s is g rea ter fo r m etropolitan than fo r non m etropolitan lo c a litie s . (See table A -2 and d iscu ssio n on page 5 .) H ow ever, *4 These are central cities, exclusive of the sub urban fringe. even after allow ance is made fo r d iffe r ences in co v e ra g e , it is still evident that the vast m a jority of today*s b u i l d i n g volum e is in m etropolitan a rea s.

The prop ortion was g rea test— usually between tw o-th ird s a n d th re e -fo u rth s— fo r n e w o f f i c e buildings, c o m m e r c ia l (parking) g a ra g e s, and i n s t i t u t i o n a l buildings (m ostly h osp ita ls), which are frequently l a r g e , m a n y -sto ry stru ctu re s, using a re la tiv e ly s m a l l plot of land fo r each unit of s e r v ic e , or population serv ed . Some o f the reason s fo r the m ov e m ent o f hom ebuilding to outlying d istricts, e sp e c ia lly during the e a rly postw ar years, had to do with reducing c o s ts . In fringe a r e a s , lots are gen erally cheaper than in the city; taxes are frequently low er; there is m o re ro o m to build m a ss housing p r o je c t s , thus perm itting eco n o m ie s of la r g e -s c a le o p e r a t i o n s ; and, in som e suburban lo c a litie s , building co d e s are le s s r e s tr ic tiv e . H ow ever, by 1954-56, other in flu en ces had com e to the fo r e , which a lso m aintained the trend of new housing to the suburbs and, in addition, tended to attract a d i f f e r e n t kind of housing, nam ely, la r g e r , higher p r ice d h om es. These influences in clu d e, among oth ers, ( l ) the i n c r e a s i n g num ber of la r g e r fa m ilie s requ irin g m o re space fo r ch ild ren ; and (2) a grea ter p rop ortion of fa m ilie s who could afford la r g e r houses with surrounding play and garden area, as w ell as the a u t o m o b i l e and other tran sportation req u ired by in cre a se d d is tance fr o m w ork and shopping and s e r v ice fa c ilitie s . The building p e rm it sta tistics bear out the fa ct that the suburban hom e of rece n t y e a rs is m ore e x p e n s i v e than h ouses in other section s. In 1956, fo r exam ple, the average p erm it valuation p er private sin g le -fa m ily dwelling in the outlying d istricts o f m etropolitan areas was about $1,100 higher than the average fo r houses inside the cen tral c itie s , and $ 2 ,1 0 0 above the fig u res for houses in the sm all towns. 1 7 The flow o f industrial building to the suburbs also o ccu rre d fo r a v a riety of re a so n s, som e of w hich w ere the same that influenced the outward m ovem ent in hom ebuilding. Among the reason s fo r the i n c r e a s e in suburban fa cto ry building w ere the d esire to escap e high city taxes; to be n ea rer the new m arkets resulting fro m the em erg en ce o f en tirely new co m m unities; to locate on sites which perm it full utilization of m odern engineering and design p rin cip les fo r plant con stru ction , and provide ample parking space fo r the convenience of em p loyees and cu sto m e rs; and to be c lo s e r to s o u r c e s of labor su p ply.18 A verage p erm it valuation f i g u r e s re v e a l that fa c to r ie s scheduled fo r con struction in the m etropolitan rin g s, like sin g le -fa m ily h ou ses, w ere usually la rg e r and m ore e x p e n s i v e than those to be loca ted in either cen tral citie s or non m etropolitan p la ce s .

Variations Am M ong etropolitan Areas There are wide d iffe re n ce s among m etropolitan areas in the degree to which each follow s national trends o f suburbani zation or ce n tr a l-city con centration of building con stru ction , with som e areas even running counter to the general ten dency (tables B -18 to B -2 0 ). This is not su rp risin g , in view o f the great variation fro m place to place of influencing fa cto rs such as population density; siz e , age, and 17 Although the $2,100 difference may be some what high, since there is evidence that the amount by which permit valuations understate actual cost of con struction is likely to be greater in small than in large places, this does not invalidate the conclusion that housing is considerably more expensive in the fringes of metropolitan areas than in nonmetropolitan places. 18 See Building in Metropolitan Areas, 1954-56, op. cit., p. 693- 23 region a l lo ca tio n o f the m e t r o p o l i t a n area; sp e cia l topograph ical c h a r a c te ris tic s ; zoning and other adm inistrative laws o r regu lation s; the tax stru ctu re; the ex tent o f te r r ito r y annexed by the cen tral city; and past le v e ls of building co n stru c tion, to m ention but a few . A r e a d iffe re n ce s in suburbaniza tion o r cen tra liza tion in b u i l d i n g con struction are not rea d ily accounted fo r by one o r two of these f a c t o r s alone. F or exam ple, 3 c it ie s — C olum bus, M il waukee, and San D iego— all annexed about the sam e amount of te r r ito ry b e t w e e n 1950 and 1956. Population density in the annexed land was about equal fo r C olum bus and San D iego, and was m uch low er than the rate fo r M ilwaukee. Yet, in the fir s t a rea , roughly t w o - t h i r d s o f the 1954-56 p erm it valuations w ere fo r sub urban con stru ction , com p a red with le s s than half in the other two a rea s. A s a further illu stra tion , the p ro portion o f suburban building was about the same in the New Y ork -N orth ea stern New J ersey and the Salt Lake City m et ropolitan areas as in the Columbus area, but the density (1950 p o p u l a t i o n p er square m ile) in the cen tral city or cities was higher fo r New Y ork than fo r any other pla ce in the country, v e ry low for Salt Lake, and only m odera tely high for Colum bus. The m ost u n iform building pattern among the individual areas was the sub urban and fringe tendency o f new house con stru ction . San D iego was the only one o f the 24 areas in w hich m ore new dw elling units w ere s c h e d u l e d fo r the cen tral city than outside during each of the y e a rs 1954-56. In the other a rea s, not only w as there m o re new h om ebu ilding outside the cen tra l c itie s , but, with few e x c e p t i o n s , m o re dw ellings w ere built in the le s s thickly settled parts of the m etropolitan area than in either the cen tral c itie s or the satellite c i t i e s — c i t i e s other than cen tral c itie s having 10,000 or m ore p o p u l a t i o n in 1950. Despite these general s im ila ritie s , the areas d iffered a pp reciab ly in the d isp e r sion o f h o u s i n g , beca u se of variation s in s iz e , age, topography, e co n o m ic de velopm en t, and other in flu en ces. Contrary to trends nationally, the average p erm it valuation of sin g le-fa m ily d w e l l i n g s was higher fo r ce n tra l-city houses than fo r suburban hom es during the entire 1954-56 p eriod in 9 out of the 24 m etropolitan a r e a s . L ikew ise, al though n a t i o n a l l y the le s s expensive m ultifam ily housing was in the suburbs, reflectin g the g rea ter p rev alen ce there of walkup garden apartm ents, com pared with h ig h -ris e elevator apartm ents ch a ra cte r istic of the cen tral city , in 9 m etropolitan areas the average valuation fo r apart m ents (units in 2 -o r -m o r e -fa m ily stru c tures) was low er inside the cen tral citie s than outside (table B -2 1 ). A m a jority of the areas in the fir s t group w ere located in the W est, and m ost of those in the second group w ere in northern and east ern section s of the country.

A large part of these d ifferen ces was due to the location of the a rea s, and re fle cte d r e gional variations in clim a tic conditions and lo c a l custom s which affect the stru c tural ch a r a c te r is tics , and thus the co st of housing.
