authorized by building permits; authorized, but not started; started; under
construction; and completed. The data are for new, privately-owned housing
units, excluding "HUD-code" manufactured (mobile) homes. The data are from the
Building Permits Survey, and from the Survey of Construction (SOC), which is
partially funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Local
building permit data may be found on the Building Permits Survey webpage.
