The primary graph exhibits single and multi-family housing begins since 2000.
Multi-family begins (blue, 2+ models) elevated in August in comparison with July. Multi-family begins had been up 5.5% year-over-year.
Single-family begins (pink) elevated in August and had been up 5,1% year-over-year.
The second graph exhibits single and multi-family housing begins since 1968.
