Housing completion figures for the years between 2020 and 2022 correspond to the financial years 2020/21, 2021/22, and 2022/23.
Supplementary notes
The number of were directly obtained from the U.S. Census, while the number of households formed was calculated as the difference between the in each year and the previous year.
The number of housing units completed in 2023 was significantly higher than the number of households formed that year in the United Kingdom. However, although the data would suggest that in the most recent years there have been more dwellings built than households formed, housing construction is not always located in the places where it is most demanded, which can still lead some cities and areas to have housing shortage.
