The NAHB Annual New Home Starts

Posted by Dave Wallace on July 21, 2012 at 8:11pm in Restore America's Mission Now!
This chart of New Single and Multi-Family housing starts is a startling reflection of the economy. Not only does it show the most recent recession but also prior recessions. The small numbers of home starts during the last 4 years reflect not just a recession but a depression in housing. Annual Housing Starts (1978-2011) Year Single-Family Multifamily Total 2011 430,900 178,300 609,200 2010 471,200 115,700 586,900 2009 445,100 108,900 554,000 2008 622,000 283,500 905,500 2007 1,046,000 309,000 1,355,000 2006 1,465,400 335,500 1,800,900 2005 1,715,800 352,500 2,068,300 2004 1,610,500 345,300 1,955,800 2003 1,499,000 348,700 1,847,700 2002 1,358,600 346,400 1,704,900 2001 1,273,300 329,400 1,602,700 2000 1,230,900 337,800 1,568,700 1999 1,302,400 338,500 1,640,900 1998 1,271,400 345,500 1,616,900 1997 1,133,700 340,300 1,474,000 1996 1,160,900 315,900 1,476,800 1995 1,076,200 277,900 1,354,100 1994 1,198,400 258,600 1,457,000 1993 1,125,700 162,000 1,287,600 1992 1,029,900 169,900 1,199,700 1991 840,400 173,500 1,013,900 1990 894,800 298,000 1,192,700 1989 1,003,300 372,900 1,376,100 1988 1,081,300 406,700 1,488,100 1987 1,146,400 473,800 1,620,500 1986 1,179,400 626,000 1,805,400 1985 1,072,400 669,500 1,741,800 1984 1,084,200 665,300 1,749,500 1983 1,067,600 635,500 1,703,000 1982 662,600 399,700 1,062,200 1981 705,400 378,900 1,084,200 1980 852,200 440,000 1,292,200 1979 1,194,100 551,100 1,745,100 1978 1,433,300 587,100 2,020,300 Source: U.S. Census Bureau    View the forecasts of Housing Starts at the US, state and metro level For more information about this item, please contact Brian Lego at 800-368-5242 x8336 or via email at blego@nahb.org.
