“These 1939 new home valuations,”
said Mr. Ryan. sixth place in
the forty‘two regions studied; their
position for the 19HI-W39 period
fifth. The increase in new home val-
ues last year over, 1938 ranked eighth
in the forty-two regions solve yeti.
When 1939 Valuations are compared |
with those of 1930 the gain ranks j
fourth in the list.
“Last year's valuations constituted
27.7 per cent of the new home values
created in the 1931-11139 period. Piuk
of new home valuations of $42,525,-
941 came in 1939, while the low. $2,-.
082,428. was hit in 1934. . I
-“Average-per person new housing 1
cost in these eleven Texas pities in
1939 was $761.56, a rise of 3.6 per
cent above the 1938 level of $735.09.
Such costs last year were 5.1 per
cent lower than the 1930 average of
$802.29. Cost of new housing for the
1931-1939 period averaged $727.10.
“This is strictly a mathematical
study based on government statistics
or estimates. Some new building re-
ported- -herein - -undoubtedly- sepiseed
structures destroyed by fire, flood or
wind, or wrecked because of obsoles-
cence. Another factor necessary jp
m mat, ly measuring total housing
inadequacy would be the shortage of
surplus existing at the beginning of
the survey period. Neither of these
factors is given consideration in this
rtrictly mathematical study.”
