The line graph reveals the construction figures for single-family houses across various regions in the United States over a six-year span. At a glance, it is clear that the lowest number of new constructions was in the Northeast region of the country.
Overall, it is evident that the number of newly constructed single-family homes across all regions in the United States declined by more than 50% between 2006 and 2012. However, the construction of such homes in the Southern states was much higher than in any other region.
Upon closer inspection, we can see that in the South, homebuilding was the highest in 2006, but then there was a free fall over the next four years before it bounced back slightly in 2012. Similar trends can be seen in the other three regions as well. Although the Western and Midwestern states experienced some stability in the number of residential construction projects after 2010, the figure for their Northeastern counterpart continued to spiral downward.
