The graph shows how many single-family houses were built in different
areas
of
the United States in each
of
the years from 2006 and 2012. There
was
a
significant difference in the number
of
houses built in each region, and
these
numbers all dropped between 2006 and 2010.

to
just
300,000 in 2010, the year with the least construction. However, it was still the
highest number
of
all the regions. The region with the
lowest
number
of
houses
built in each
of
the years
was
the Northeast. Under 200,000 new houses were
built there in 2006 and fewer than 100,000
were
built in 2010.
In all the regions shown on the graph, 2006 was the year with the

most of
the regions
seem to follow
