Census discontinued SAAR 2-4 unit-structures because tests for identifiable and stable seasonality do not meet reliability standards for publication. It is calculated by Haver Analytics by subtracting 1-unit structures and 5-unit structures from total housing starts. Copyright, 2016, Haver Analytics.
