How these numbers are made

Source: City of Greensboro building and trade permits. The window is October 2023 through September 2026.

Counted: permits on homes for the kinds of work we track (electrical, HVAC, plumbing, new home, driveway & concrete, remodel & repair, foundation & crawl space, solar, addition, deck, demolition, garage & shed) 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 40,952 of the 49,860 permits; 8,893 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 Greensboro.
