Open permits: multifamily (5+) on the map
What this measure is
New privately owned homes in buildings of five or more homes authorised by building permits over the last 12 months, per 1,000 residents by default or as a count. Permits are approvals, not homes started or finished, and some permit offices report only once a year, so the Census Bureau estimates their months. The survey has no ZIP code figures; metros add up their counties.
