Two new tables have been added to the Regional Activity section of U.S. Housing
Market Conditions. These tables provide information on the geographical location of housing production activity as measured by the number of housing permits issued. Both tables contain the number of housing units authorized by building permits through the fourth quarter of 1997 and the fourth quarter of 1996, with separate columns for all units, single-family units, and multifamily units. A final set of columns shows the year-to-year ratios. One table contains entries for each of the 50 States and the District of Columbia, along with summaries for regions of the country. The second table contains entries for the 50 most active metropolitan statistical areas.
