Definition
The estimated number of privately owned new housing units in buildings with five or more units that were under construction at the end of the month.
Seasonally adjusted month-end stock of privately owned new housing units under construction, not a monthly flow or annual rate. Values count housing units, rather than buildings, and include the specified structure-size group. The latest month is preliminary and earlier estimates may be revised.
