How these numbers are made

Source: City of Elk Grove TRAKiT building permits on single-family, duplex, mobile-home and ADU homes. 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.
