The number of houses that began construction rose in June from the previous month, driven by strong growth in the multifamily segment, the Census Bureau said in a July 18 statement.

Privately owned housing starts in June were at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1,321,000 units, a 4.6 percent jump from May. On an annual basis, housing starts were down 0.5 percent.
