How these numbers are made

Source: City and County of Denver residential construction and demolition permits. The window is October 2023 through September 2026.

Counted: permits on homes for the kinds of work we track (remodel & alteration, new home, demolition, garage, foundation & structural repair, addition, pool, shed & outdoor structure, ADU) 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 7,673 of the 10,375 permits; 2,248 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 and County of Denver.
