How these numbers are made

Source: City of Pittsburgh permits (Western Pennsylvania Regional Data Center). The window is October 2023 through September 2026.

Counted: permits on homes for the kinds of work we track (electrical, remodel, windows & alteration, HVAC, solar, demolition, new home) 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 9,555 of the 9,673 permits.

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 Pittsburgh.
