Why is this different from the per-watt prices I see online?

Do bigger houses get bigger bills?

In the file, yes for the firms: those working on the upper third of homes by value usually file $22,324, the lower third $18,000. That is firms, not single jobs.

How these numbers are made

Source: City of Medford building, electrical, mechanical and plumbing permits on single-family, duplex and cottage homes (the city's TRAKiT permit exports). 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.
