How this is counted

Each row is one permit in the city's published permit data, counted in the week of its issue date (Monday to Sunday). Categories and work types are the city's own labels. Declared value is what the applicant stated; the median is used because a few very large entries distort an average.

These reports are free and update every week.
Counts come straight from each city's open permit data. Other public-record datasets are available now.
