Housing Unit Estimates
The US Census Bureau estimates the number of housing units for each year since the most recent decennial census. To estimate changes in the housing stock, the Bureau relies on building permits, estimates of non-permitted construction, mobile home shipments, and estimates of housing loss. With each annual release of housing unit estimates, the entire time series of estimates is updated.
