How these numbers are made

Counted: permits on homes for the kinds of work we track (solar, new home, windows & doors, remodel & alteration, addition, patio cover & sunroom, pools) where the record names a contractor, placed by the ZIP code of the permit's address (or its parcel's). The pages with a ZIP code cover 4,823 of the 5,009 permits; 56 had no usable ZIP code.

Not counted: commercial work, trades we don't read, and owner-pulled permits. A ZIP code does not follow city or county lines; these count only permits in the City of Albuquerque.
