New housing units authorized by building permits by state, 2025

New privately owned housing units authorized by building permits in 2025, per 1,000 residents (derived by Quadranac with the July 1, 2025 population estimate), the shares in single-family houses, in two- to four-unit buildings and in buildings with five or more units, and the average construction value per single-family unit (derived). Figures include Census Bureau imputation for places that do not report every month. Construction value is the cost reported on the permit and excludes land.
