                2013-2016 Comparison
The number and cost of HSIP projects continues to increase each year. As shown in Table 1 below, the total number of projects and cost of projects did not change much from 2013 to 2014 but between 2015 and 2016, there were roughly 1000 more projects reported. This increasing trend continued in 2017, with an increase of about 500 projects over 2016. However, the breakdown in project costs for various breakpoints was similar across years.

			1%* For 2017, number of projects with cost info and cost of projects do not include projects with deobligated funds or where the value entered was $0, nor do they include projects in California. Also, for the first time 2017 data includes PR HSIP projects. Therefore, comparisons with previous years should be made with caution.

Table 2 shows the 2013 through 2017 comparison of the number of projects and average total cost of projects for various project types highlighted in this report (does not include projects with deobligated funds or projects where no value was reported or the value entered was $0). For most project types, the number and cost of projects has increased over the four year period.
