Open permits: single-family on the map
What this measure is
New privately owned single-family 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.
