How these numbers are made

Source: Sacramento County building permits on single-family, duplex and townhouse homes in the unincorporated county (the County's Accela permit layer). The window is October 2023 through September 2026; a permit filed after that isn't here yet.

The spread is approximate: we keep seven points of each firm's own range of filed values, not every permit, and pool them.
