In 2023, there were nearly 14 million more housing units than households in the United States. The distance between the number of housing units available and the number of households has increased significantly since 1965. However, those figures refer to all kinds of housing units, including apartments. When only considering the difference between single-family homes completed and new households formed, there has been a consistent shortage.
