How to read these numbers
Active and in-review permits are the forward pipeline — work likely to start or continue in the coming months. Declared value is the cost stated on the application, so it understates true project cost but stays comparable across permits. The neighborhood ranking shows where this segment is actually clustering, usually a better demand signal than the citywide total.
