Census Bureau: 2019 Characteristics of New Housing Report Released

The U.S. Census Bureau released today the 2019 Characteristics of New Housing Report, which provides annual statistics on the characteristics of new privately owned residential structures by census region. The report includes characteristics such as the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, the location of laundry facilities, the presence of a homeowner’s association, the buyer’s source of financing, and the structure’s square footage.

The report uses data collected by the Census Bureau’s Survey of Construction, jointly funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
