U.S. Cities With the Most Single-Family Homes
Although there was a modest rebound in single-family construction post-2015, which gained momentum during the pandemic, this surge has since subsided. In 2023, only 61.8% of new construction was allocated to single-family units. This ongoing underinvestment has led to an estimated shortfall of approximately 6.5 million single-family homes—a primary contributor to elevated housing prices. But while adequate supply of single-family homes is a current challenge, single-family units remain the norm in most places. Researchers calculated the percentage of housing units that are single-family and ranked locations accordingly.
