# US macro data: Housing (273 series)
273 housing series from US government sources, cleaned into one consistent format and ready for pandas.
This free package holds the **last 12 months** (2025-11-02 on) of each series' latest values. It is refreshed weekly.
```python
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_parquet("hf://datasets/FinzData/macro-housing/data/long.parquet") # series_id, date, value
wide = pd.read_parquet("hf://datasets/FinzData/macro-housing/data/wide_daily.parquet") # one column per series
```
or `datasets.load_dataset("FinzData/macro-housing")`. Wide tables by frequency: `wide_daily` (1 series), `wide_weekly` (3 series), `wide_monthly` (218 series), `wide_quarterly` (51 series). `series.csv` lists every series
with its title, units, frequency and how far back the full history goes.
## The full history, point in time, through one API
The FinzData API serves every series back to its first observation, **every revision** (what was known on any past
date, so backtests do not peek at later revisions), and **daily updates**, in the same format:
```python
import finzdata as fz # pip install finzdata
c = fz.Client() # free API key: https://api.finzdata.com/
c.macro("DCOILBRENTEU") # full history, latest values
c.macro("DCOILBRENTEU", vintage="first") # as first released
c.macro("DCOILBRENTEU", as_of="2020-03-01") # exactly what was known on that date
c.macro_series(category="housing") # the catalogue for this category
```
