About this chart

This chart shows the number of multi-family homes (apartments, condos, and other units in buildings with more than one home) authorized by building permits, from the US Census Bureau’s Building Permits Survey. Each bar is the total for the 12 months ending in that month, which smooths out seasonal swings and makes the underlying trend easy to see.
