Infill lots are spaces left over after developments and cities have already been populated. Homes built on infill lots were 18.6 percent of new homes, while homes built after tearing down an existing building constituted 6.4 percent of new homes.

Regional differences are based on the differences in the market shares of teardowns that show age of housing stock, climate, developable land and lot shortages in the various regions.
63 percent of new single-family detached homes were built in new residential developments yet, 12.4 percent of new single-family detached homes built were not built in a residential development.
