The Ripple Effect of Building a Home

Picture
​The impact of home construction on the local economy and economic contributions is measured through jobs, associated payroll and economic output.​ Each year the industry builds new homes to accommodate our growing population and the year-over-year recurring effect magnifies the overall economic impact.

In order to help consumers understand the real cost and impact of new home construction in El Paso County, Colorado, the HBA has published a brochure using data-driven information from NAHB and Summit Economics.
