Homes permitted, by place
An interactive U.S. map of homes permitted, by place for permit-issuing places. Latest data: September 2026. PLUS
Open homes permitted, by place on the mapWhat this measure is
New homes authorised by building permits in the last 12 months, for about 20,000 permit offices: cities, towns and townships, and the parts of counties where the county issues permits. Bubble size shows the number of homes; colour shows homes per 1,000 residents on one national scale. Permits are not starts or completions, and offices that report only once a year are Census Bureau estimates month to month. In cities that publish permit data, zooming in shows one point per permitted project.
