Abstract

Summary (Statistics and the Housing Problem) Between now and 1960, the Netherlands will have to build about 900000 houses. Rents and prices being what they are at the present (index‐number of building costs = 350), realization of this program means expenditure of a vast amount of capital (7500000000 Guilders) which will not yield any interest. The houses necessary will not be built unless building costs can be cut to half their present value. This cannot be done whilst building houses in the old way but only by attacking the housing problem with the means of industrial mass production: standardization of a small number of types, industrial design, scientific preparation. Statistics can take an important part in realizing the housing program. Three aspects of applications of statistical methods are mentioned: a). Qualitative analysis of the types needed, by public opinion research. In this connection the problem of sample surveys arises. b). Measuring and analysing the productivity of labour by multiple correlation and analysis of variance. c). Controlling the dimensions of pre‐fabricated parts by the statistical approach to tolerances and statistical quality control.
