METHODOLOGY NOTES (across all datasets for this indicator)

Single-family housing units include single detached units and single attached units. Multi-family housing includes two to four units and five plus or apartment units.

Housing production data for the region, counties, and cities for each year is the difference of annual housing unit estimates from the California Department of Finance. Housing production data for metropolitan areas for each year is the difference of annual housing unit estimates from the Census Bureau’s Population Estimates Program. CA Department of Finance data uses an annual cycle between January 1 and December 31, whereas U.S. Census Bureau data uses an annual cycle from April 1 to March 31 of the following year.
