How these numbers are made

Source: City of St. Louis building permits. The window is October 2023 through September 2026.

Counted: permits on homes for the kinds of work we track (remodel & alteration, fence, demolition, deck & porch, roofing, garage & carport, windows & doors, foundation & waterproofing, solar, masonry & tuckpointing) 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 5,635 of the 5,943 permits; 1 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 St. Louis.
