Home & Garden

Patios continue to be more popular than decks. According to a tabulation of data from HUD / Census Bureau Survey of Construction from the National Association of Home Builders, the share of new homes with patios is on the rise while the share with decks remains low. The NAHB tabulation found that the percentage of new homes with decks was 17.6 percent in 2023, while the percentage of new homes with patios reached a record high of 63.7 percent in that same

year. Though some homes feature both a deck and patio, the NAHB notes that’ s the case in just 6 percent of properties. However, decks have remained a go-to choice in certain regions of the United States. For example, the NAHB reports that 76 percent of new homes in New England featured decks while just 17 percent featured patios. Decks( 42 percent) also proved more popular than patios( 20 percent) in the mid-Atlantic region
