Abstract

The demand for new residential structures in California during the period 1920-1941 was found to be closely correlated with the increase in population, levels of family income, the cost of new home ownership, and the available supply of housing. The quantity of lumber used per dwelling in the same period was influenced by size of dwelling, type of construction, and geographic location, and showed a decline with time which indicates the influences of substitute materials and of more economical methods of wood use. Lumber consumption for new residential construction in California averaged 1.2 billion board feet per year in the period 1920-1929, and 0.9 billion board feet per year in the period 1930-1939.
