This statistical report gives data on new housing in the United States in 1975 -- an estimate of all new housing completed, number of privately owned one - family houses completed, privately owned multifamily housing completed, rental units completed, new one - family houses sold, and contractor - built houses started. Breakdowns give this data by region and by location inside or outside a Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area. Other tables give data on such characteristics as air - conditioning, appliances, bathrooms, bedrooms, exterior wall materials, fireplaces, and number of floors in the building. Closing costs, sales prices, down payments, and mortgage information are covered, as are the values of building lots. These statistics have been estimated from sample surveys and include information received through March 1976. Appendices explain the survey methodology and contain tables of standard error, a glossary of definitions, and the survey instrument. In 1975 an estimated 1,313,000 new housing units were built in the United States, with the South showing the greatest housing growth (522,000 units) and the North Central States the next greatest (308,000 units). Most of these were single - family homes (866,000). Of the 430,000 units in buildings with 2 or more units, 117,000 were for sale and 313,000 were rental units. Publicly owned housing accounted for only 16,000 units. The comparative data show that housing construction has declined from a peak of 2,033,000 units in 1973.
