BUILDING PERMITS IN THE PRINCIPAL CITIES OF THE UNITED STATES IN 19281

Introduction and SummaryT HE Bureau of Labor Statistics presents in this bulletin the ninth

annual report of building permits issued in cities of the United States having a population of 25,000 and over. According to the estimate of the Census Bureau as of Julj 1, 1928, there were 319 cities in the United States in this population group.

On January 1 of this year schedule forms were mailed by the bureau to all of these cities except those in States where local bureaus are collecting like information. In these States the information is collected by the State and mailed to the Federal bureau. Schedules were received from 310 cities and data for these cities are shown herein. The States of Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania are now cooperating with the bureau in this work.

The city building officials are also heartily cooperating with the work of the bureau. In 1922 it was necessary to send agents to 33J£ per cent of the cities from which data were collected. In 1927 only

per cent of the cities were visited by the bureau’s agents and in collecting the 1928 information it was necessary to send to only 6.1 per cent of the cities.

The costs shown in the following tables refer to the cost of the building only, land costs not being included. The costs are estimated by the builder at the time of applying for his permit to build and are recorded on the application. There is probably a tendency in many cases to underestimate. Some cities are stricter than others in making applicants state a true cost.

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 310 cities from which schedules were received for the year 1928, the per cent that each kind forms of the total number, the per cent that the cost of each kind forms of the total cost, and the average cost per building.

i Earlier reports concerning building permits issued in the United States are published in Bulletins Nos. 295, 318, 347, 368, 397, 424, 449, and 469 of the Bureau of Labor Statistics; also in issues o f the Labor Review for July, 1921; April, 1922; July and October, 1923; June and October, 1924; June, September, and October, 1925; June, July, and October, 1926; M ay, June, July, October, and November, 1927; M ay, June, October, and November, 1928; M ay and June, 1929.

1 Less than one-tenth of 1 per cent.

In the 310 cities for which reports were received for the year 1928 permits were issued for 385,429 buildings. Of this number, 181,989 buildings, or 47.2 per cent, were for residential purposes and 203,440, or 52.8 per cent, for nonresidential use.

Of the residential buildings 145,322 were 1-family dwellings; this is 37.7 per cent of the total number of new buildings for which permits were issued or 79.8 per cent of the total number of residential buildings. Two-family dwellings, the next most numerous group of residential buildings, comprised only 5.2 per cent of the total number of buildings. With the exception of private garages no other kind of building in either the residential or nonresidential group constituted as much as 5 per cent of the total number of buildings for which permits were issued.

In the nonresidential group private garages were far the most numerous kind of building. Of all buildings for which permits were issued in these 310 cities during the calendar year 1928, over 40 per cent were private garages, over 7 per cent more private garages being erected than 1-family dwellings.

Stores and warehouses ranked next after private garages in the nonresidential group and formed only 3.4 per cent of the total number of new buildings.

It will be seen from the above that out of every 100 buildings for which permits were issued in cities having a population of 25,000 or over, 78 were either 1-family dwellings or private garages.


The total estimated expenditure for new buildings in these 310 cities was $3,098,940,040 of which $1,913,720,710, or 61.8 per cent, was for residential buildings and $1,185,219,330, or 38.2 per cent, for nonresidential buildings. ^

The Bureau of Labor Statistics has been collecting figures concerning building permits issued for every year since 1920, and in each of these years up to 1928, 1-family dwellings accounted for the greatest expenditure of any kind of buildings. In 1928, however, the permits issued for multifamily dwellings (apartment houses) show a larger estimated expenditure than those issued for 1-family dwellings. The estimated cost of apartment houses for which permits were issued in these 310 cities during 1928 was $776,520,458, or 25.1 per cent of the expenditure for all new buildings, as compared with $715,317,535, or 23.1 per cent, for 1-family dwellings.

If we group apartment houses and apartment houses with stores we find that the expenditure for both kinds of apartment houses equaled the expenditure for 1-family dwellings and 2-family dwellings combined. Each combination comprised approximately 28 per cent of the total estimated expenditure for all buildings.

In the nonresidential group, office buildings accounted for the largest expenditure of money, $256,101,159 being expended for this class of structure. Stores and warehouses rated next in expenditures in this group, followed by factories, and schools and libraries in order. Private garages which comprise 40.6 per cent of the number of new buildings account for only 1.8 per cent of the cost.

The average cost per building of all new buildings in these 310 cities was $8,040. In residential buildings the average cost was $10,516 and in nonresidential buildings, $5,826. The average cost of nonresidential buildings, however, is “ pulled down” by the inclusion of a large number of private garages and sheds. If we exclude these two classes of buildings the average cost of the remaining nonresidential buildings is $13,992 per building.

Data were received from 302 cities for both 1927 and 1928. In these 302 cities 398,139 families were provided with dwellings in new buildings in 1928, as compared with 418,878 in 1927, a decrease of 20,739 dwelling units or 5.0 per cent in 1928 as compared with 1927.

There were 164,268 families accommodated in the new 1-family dwellings for which permits were issued in 1927 in these 302 cities. This is 39.2 per cent of the total number of families provided for during that year. In 1928, 1-family dwellings provided for 143,889 families, which was 36.1 per cent of the total number of families supplied with new dwelling places. In contrast, the number of families provided for in apartment houses increased from 179,177 in1927 to 190,282 in 1928. In 1927, 42.8 per cent of the total number of family dwelling places for which permits were issued were in apartment houses, while in 1928 this percentage had risen to 47.8. The percentage of families supplied with residences in new 2-family dwellings decreased from 12 in 1927 to 10 in 1928.

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 each year from 1921 to 1928, inclusive.

The trend toward apartment-house dwelling continues in full swing. This fact is amply shown by the above table. In 1921 accommodations were provided for 224,545 families in the new buildings for which permits were issued during that year. Of this number 58.3 per cent were sheltered in 1-family dwellings, 17.3 per cent in 2-family dwellings, and 24.4 per cent in apartment houses.

Seven years later, in 1928, it is found that 53.7 per cent of the 388,678 new family dwelling units were in apartment houses and only 35.2 per cent in 1-family dwellings and 11.1 per cent in 2-family dwellings.

The total number of families provided for in 1928 increased 73.1 per cent in 1928 over 1921. One-family dwellings, however, increased only 4.6 per cent in number in 1928 over 1921, while the family units provided in apartment houses in 1928 increased 280.7 per cent over those provided during 1921,


The per cent of families housed in 1-family dwellings has decreased each year from that of the preceding year, except that 1924 showed a slight increase over 1923. Apartment units have shown exactly the opposite trend; 1924 was the only year that the percentage of families housed in apartment houses was less than that of the preceding year. The percentage of families housed in 2-family dwellings reached a peak in 1924; since that year there has been a steady decline in the percentage of families housed in this class of dwelling.

In the 302 cities from which reports were received for both 1927 and 1928 permits were issued for 382,514 new buildings during the calendar year 1928 as compared with 440,876 during the calendar year 1927. This is a decrease, in the number of buildings, of 13.2


per cent. The estimated amount spent for the erection of the buildings for which permits were issued in 1928 was $3,089,075,192, a decrease of 4.7 per cent from the $3,240,441,134 spent during 1927.

Residential buildings decreased more in number but less in estimated expenditure than nonresidential buildings in 1928 as compared with 1927. The decrease in the number of residential buildings for which permits were issued during 1928, in these 302 cities, being 13.5 per cent over 1927, while nonresidential buildings decreased in number 13.0 per cent. In estimated costs, however, the decrease in residential buildings was only 2.7 per cent as compared with 7.6 per cent in nonresidential buildings.

All classes of residential buildings except hotels showed a decrease in the number of buildings, comparing 1928 with 1927. Hotels increased 16.4 per cent in number. The greatest decrease was in 1-family and 2-family dwellings with stores where there was a falling off of 21.3 per cent.

In estimated expenditure four classes of structures in the residential group showed a decrease and four showed an increase. The decreases ranged from 9.9 per cent in the case of 1-family dwellings to 40.2 per cent in lodging houses. The increases in estimated expenditure in this group ranged from one-tenth of 1 per cent for multifamily dwellings with stores combined to 64.7 per cent for hotels.

In the nonresidential group all classes of buildings showed a decrease in number except amusement buildings, office buildings, and schools and libraries, office buildings showing the largest increase with a gain of 6.4 per cent over 1927. The decreases ranged from six-tenths of 1 per cent for stables and barns to 28.3 per cent in the case of public buildings.

In amounts expended factory buildings, office buildings, and miscellaneous buildings showed an increase in 1928 as compared with 1927. All other nonresidential buildings showed a decrease in expenditures ranging from 1.7 per cent for service stations to 38.1 per cent for public buildings.

Per Capita Expenditure for Buildings

Table 5 shows the total and the per capita expenditures for new buildings, new housekeeping dwellings, repairs and additions, and for all lands of buildings in each of the 310 cities for which reports were received for the calendar year 1928; the total number of families provided for and the ratio of families provided for to each 10,000 of population in these 310 cities; and the total expenditure for all classes of buildings in 302 cities in 1927.

In the 310 cities which reported for 1928 there was an expenditure of $3,423,584,461 for building operations of all kinds. Of this amount, $3,098,940,040 was for new buildings and $324,644,421 for repairs to old buildings. Of the amount spent for new buildings, $1,762,452,315 was for housekeeping dwellings. The expenditure for all buildings for the 302 cities which reported for 1927 was $3,593,839,405.

The per capita expenditure for the cities from which reports were received for 1928 was $76.18 for all building operations, divided as follows: $68.96 for new buildings and $7.22 for repairs; $39.22 of

6 BUILDING PERMITS IK THE PRINCIPAL CITIES


the amount expended for new buildings was for housekeeping dwellings. The population of these 310 cities, as estimated by the Bureau of the Census for July 1, 1928, was 44,940,049.

The five leading cities in per capita expenditure were White Plains, N. Y ., $440.15; Yonkers, N. Y ., $293.64; Evanston, 111., $276.85; Mount Vernon, N. Y ., $260.74; and New Kochelle, N. Y ., $230.19. All of these cities are suburban cities, four being suburbs of New York and one of Chicago. In all of these cities residential buildings accounted for the large per capita expenditure.

Following is a list of the five leading cities in total expenditure for the years 1920 to 1928, inclusive. It will be noted that the cities of New York, Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia make up this list each year except for 1920 and 1921 when Cleveland was included and Philadelphia slumped below the leading five.

During 1928 accommodations were provided in the new dwellings for which permits were issued for 399,657 families, or at the rate of 88.9 families to each 10,000 of population in these 310 cities.

Following is a list of the five leading cities in the building of homes for each year since 1921. This list shows the number of families provided with homes in new buildings for each 10,000 of the city’s population. Four of the five for 1928 are contiguous to the great metropolitan center of New York City.

* The ratio of families provided for in Miami 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 by 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 1928

D ATA have been collected since 1921 concerning the amount expended for building operations in 257 identical cities. The

information was obtained from the record of permits issued by the local building officials of the different cities. The costs are the estimated costs given by the prospective builder at the time of applying for Ins permit. The cost of the building only is included. The total expenditure for new buildings was less in these cities during 1928 than for any year since 1922 and fell below $3,000,000,000 for the first time since that year. Table 6 belowN shows the estimated expenditures for residential buildings, nonresidential buildings, and total new buildings; the population as estimated by the Census Bureau as of July 1 each year; the number of families provided for; the ratio of families provided for to each 10,000 of population; the index number of each of these items; and the index number of families provided for weighted by population.T a b l e 6 .— E ST IM A T E D E X P E N D IT U R E S A N D IN D E X N U M B ER S OF E X P E N D IT U R E S

The peak expenditure for new buildings was reached in 1925, when $3,805,427,154 was expended for building operations, according to permits issued in these 257 cities. The expenditure for 1928 was nearly a billion dollars less than the 1925 peak. Each year since

20


1925 has shown a decrease in amount expended for new buildings over the preceding year. The 1928 expenditure was 21.3 per cent less than the 1925 expenditure, but was 90.4 per cent above the expenditure for 1921.

Expenditures for residential and nonresidential buildings each reached a peak in 1925. The amount expended for residential buildings that year was $2,461,546,270. During 1928 the expenditure for residential buildings was $1,859,429,751, which was 24.5 per cent less than the 1925 expenditure, but was 98.4 per cent above the expenditure for 1921. The expenditure for nonresidential buildings during 1925 was $1,343,880,884 and during 1928 it was $1,135,549,986. That is, during 1928 15.5 per cent less was expended for nonresidential buildings than during 1925 or 78.6 per cent more than during 1921.

The population of these 257 cities on July 1, 1921, was 36,575,118 according to the estimate of the Census Bureau and by July 1,1928, it had risen to 42,767,125, or 16.9 per cent above the 1921 population.

During 1925 housing units were provided for 491,222 families. This is the record year in regard to families provided for. During1928 only 388,678 families were provided with dwelling places in new buildings, this being 20.9 per cent less than the number accommodated during 1925 and 73.1 per cent more than those provided for during 1921.

In 1921 there were 61.4 families provided for to each 10,000 of population. By 1925 this ratio had risen to 121.8 but in 1928 had fallen to 90.9. The index number of families provided for weighted by population reached a peak of 198.4 in 1925 and then declined steadily each year until it stood at 148.1 in 1928.

Average Estimated Cost of Dwellings per Family

Table 7 shows the average cost each year, 1921 to 1928, of dwelling accommodations per family in each of the different kinds of dwellings for which permits were issued in the 257 identical cities from which reports were received every year.

The costs from which these averages were computed are the costs of the building as stated by the prospective builder at the time of applying for his permit to build. Land costs are not included. There may be a profit or loss between the cost to the builder and the cost to the home purchaser.T a b le 7.—A V E R AG E COST OF D W E LLIN G S P E R F A M IL Y IN 257 ID E N T IC A L CITIES,

The average cost of the 1-family dwellings for which permits were issued has advanced nearly a thousand dollars between 1921 and 1928. In 1921 the average cost of the separate dwelling was $3,972, while in 1928 it was $4,937. There has been a steady increase each year over the preceding year. The average cost of the 1-family dwellings for which permits were issued in 1928 was 24.3 per cent higher than the average cost of those for which permits were issued during 1921.

The average cost of 2-family dwellings was $3,762 per family in 1921. This rose steadily until a peak of $4,480 per family, or 19.1 per cent above the 1921 cost, was reached in 1926. In 1928 the average cost of 2-family dwellings was $4,064 per family. This is 8 per cent above the 1921 cost.

The average cost per family provided for in apartment houses was lowest in 1922, the cost being $3,880 per family that year. By 1924 the average cost had risen to $4,418 per family. In this year average expenditure j>er family provided for was higher in apartment houses than in single-family dwellings. In 1925 and 1926 the per family cost of multi-family dwellings declined, climbed slightly in 1927, and again sank in 1928, the 1928 cost being $4,129 per family, or only 2.7 per cent higher than the 1921 cost.

The average cost per family of all dwelling units in new buildings was $3,947 in 1921. In 1925 a peak cost of $4,464 was reached. The cost in 1928 was $4,407, which was an increase of 11.7 per cent over the 1921 per family cost.

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 avaliable, but it is believed that the trend of retail prices follows closely the trend of wholesale prices. The index number of wholesale prices shown in Table 3 differs from that previously shown because of a different weighting for the different building materials.

The index numbers shown in Table 8 for wages in the building trades are wage rates for union labor only. In many cities the building trades are highly organized, while in others there is much nonunion labor. The bureau has no data concerning wages of nonunion labor in the building trades. It is thought, however, that the trend of wages of nonunion labor would follow closely that of union labor.

The price of building material reached a peak of 111.6 in 1923 and fell to a low of 95.8 in 1927. The 1928 price stood at 96.2. Union wage rates reached their highest point, 129, in 1928, rising from the low of 93.4 in 1922.

Apartment House Construction in American Cities, 1928

T HERE is no abatement of the trend toward apartment houses as dwelling places in the cities of the United States. Figures

taken from permits issued in 257 cities in the United States having a population of 25,000 or over show that the popularity of the multifamily dwelling is still growing. A multifamily dwelling is one designed to accommodate three or more families. The term is equivalent to the more generally used appellations “ apartment house ” or “ tenement house.”

Reports have been received from 257 identical cities continuously since 1921 showing the number of families provided for and the class of dwelling with which they were provided. This information is shown below in Table 9.

In 1928 homes were provided in new buildings for 388,678 families;53.7 per cent of these were in apartment houses; 35.2 per cent in 1-family dwellings, and 11.1 per cent in 2-family dwellings. This is the first year since the compilation of these data by the bureau that more than half of the families provided for in new buildings were housed in apartment houses. In new construction in 1921 only24.4 per centof all families provided for were housed in apartment houses, and 58.3 percent in 1-family dwellings.T a b l e 9 .—P E R C E N T OF FA M ILIES P R O V ID E D FO R IN TH E D IF F E R E N T K IN D S OF

1 Includes 1-family and 2-family dwellings with stores combined.2 Includes multi-family dwellings with stores combined.

This is the third consecutive year that more family units have been provided in apartment houses than in 1-family dwellings. Just what effect this change in the type of dwelling will have on the social, economic, and political life of the country is hard to determine. That it will have its impress on the character and life of the people is an undoubted fact. Few apartment-house dwellers are home owners. As has been pointed out before by the bureau, apartment-house construction is changing the character of building labor by giving more opportunity for work to certain trades, namely, structural-iron workers, concrete workers, marble and stone cutters, etc., and less to other trades, especially carpenters.

Comparison of Conditions in Cities of Over 500,000

In t h e 14 cities of the United States which have a population of500,000 or over 67.2 per cent of the families provided for in1928 were housed in apartment houses, 22.1 per cent in 1-family dwellings, and 10.7 per cent in 2-family dwellings. In 1927 the same classes of dwellings housed 60.8 per cent, 25.8 per cent, and 13.4 per cent, respectively. These 14 cities provided for 236,113 families in1927 and 232,681 families in 1928, as shown in Table 10.

Data are shown in this table for New York as an entity and for each of the five boroughs separately. Chicago provided for a larger portion of families in apartment houses than any other city, 80.7 per cent of the total housing units in new dwellings being in this class of building in 1928 as compared with 12.2 per cent in 1-family dwellings.

The per cent of families housed in new apartment houses in New York practically equaled that of Chicago, 80.3 per cent of the new housing units being in apartment houses and 12.4 per cent in l-family dwellings.

There was a great difference, however, in the class of homes provided in the different boroughs. In Manhattan 99.9 per cent of new housing units were in apartment houses and only one-tenth of 1 per cent in1-family dwellings. In the borough of Richmond 60.3 per cent were in 1-family dwellings and only 23.3 per cent in apartment houses.

Baltimore built a larger proportion of 1-family dwellings than any other city in this population group, but even in Baltimore there was an increase in the percentage of families provided for in apartment houses in 1928 as compared with 1927. Detroit and San Francisco were the only cities in the United States having a population of 500,000 or over where a larger percentage of the families provided for in new buildings were housed in 1-family dwellings in 1928 than in 1927. In 1927 there were 15,614 families provided for in new buildings in Detroit; of this number 35.9 per cent were accommodated in 1-family dwellings. In 1928 of the 15,929 families provided for,42.7 per cent were housed in 1-family dwellings.

Boston, Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, and Milwaukee built large numbers of 2-family houses.

Comparison of Conditions in Cities of Under 500,000

In t a b l e 11 are shown cities having a population of 25,000 or over which provided for 200 or more families in either 1927 or 1928. The table shows figures for 1921, 1927, and 1928, 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 data were collected. A few of the smaller cities, which have reached a population of25,000 since 1920, are shown for 1927 and 1928 only.

Most of the cities having a population of 500,000 or less built most of their new family housing units in 1-family dwellings. There are some exceptions, however, even in cities having a population of less than 100,000. In Mount Vernon, N. Y., for instance, 83.7 per cent of the family units built in 1927 and 77 per cent of those built in1928 were in apartment houses. The Bureau of the Census estimated the population of Mount Vernon to be 54,700 on July 1, 1928. Evanston, 111., with a population of 47,600, accommodated 70.5 per cent of the families provided for in 1927 and 75.6 per cent of those provided for in 1928 in apartment houses.



In most of the cities which might be classed as suburbs of larger cities the majority of the family units provided were in apartment houses in 1927 and 1928. Among cities in this class are Yonkers, N. Y .; White Plains, N. Y .; Elizabeth, N. J.; East Cleveland, Ohio; Cambridge, Mass.; and Highland Park, Mich. In the last-named city only one-half of 1 per cent of the family units for which permits were issued in 1927 and only 2.6 per cent of those for which permits were issued in 1928 were 1-family dwellings.

Albany, N. Y . ; Bethlehem, Pa.; Bridgeport, Conn.; Medford, Mass.; New Britain, Conn.; and Pawtucket, R. I., were large builders of2-family dwellings.

Richmond, Ind., was the only city where no apartment houses were built in any of the three years for which data are shown.T a b le 11.—P E R C E N T OP FAM ILIES PR O V ID E D FO R B Y T H E D IF F E R E N T K IN D S

General Table

G ENERAL TABLE A, pages 33 to 108 shows detailed information for 310 cities in 1928 and 302 cities in 1927. The table is di

vided 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 in each city from which data were received for 1927 and 1928. The ratio of families provided for is based both on the 1920 census and the population as estimated by the Census Bureau for the specified year.

Part 2 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 offices other than that of the building inspector, and no data were collected in such cities.

In 1927 there were 77,818 permits issued for installations to cost $37,772,931, compared with 70,850 permits and an estimated cost of $38,351,921 in 1928.

The bureau attempted to classify additions, alterations, and re-

Eairs under the headings repairs, etc., to housekeeping dwellings, non- ousekeeping dwellings, and to nonresidential buildings. Many of

the cities which reported by mail, however, grouped them. În the 310 cities which reported for 1928 permits were issued for

279,020 repairs to old buildings. The cost of these repairs was estimated at $324,644,421. In 1927 permits were issued for 288,824 repairs at an estimated cost of $353,398,271.

The total estimated expenditure for the 664,449 building operations (including new buildings and repairs to old buildings), for which permits were issued in 1928, was $3,423,584,461. In 1927 permits were issued for 729,685 building operations at an estimated expenditure of $3,593,839,405.
