Vinyl siding was the predominant exterior wall material on 30 percent of the 620,000 homes built. Brick and stucco each claimed 23 percent. Fiber cement had 18 percent. Seventy-seven percent (77%) of homes built in the Northeast and 60 percent of homes built in the Midwest were first and foremost clad in vinyl siding.
