How the headline figure is computed
One-unit homes permitted across this market's 10 counties in 2025 (5,980) against 2024 (5,727), from the Census Building Permits Survey. Each county's own total is in the table below; the market figure is their sum.
Universe
One-unit permits only. A five-or-more-unit row is a single apartment building whose unit count was decided years earlier, so including it makes a county's total jump by hundreds when one project files.
