How these numbers are made

Source: City of Aspen building permits on single-family, duplex and multi-family homes (the City's permit map layer; permits filed by architects or design firms, about 39% of building permits, are left unattributed because those firms aren't the contractor), with home values from the Pitkin County Assessor. The window is October 2023 through September 2026; a permit filed after that isn't here yet.

Usual is the middle permit: half were filed for less, half for more. Only permits with a filed value count; a value of $0 or none is left out.

The spread is approximate: we keep seven points of each firm's own range of filed values, not every permit, and pool them.
