Permit Power Rankings

Who is building where, ranked from official municipal building-permit records.

Every Power Rankings board is sourced from the city or county's own open-data building-permit feed. Each board names the feed it reads and the date of the freshest permit we observed in it. Every row is a count of issued permits; a metro whose feed omits job values is shown without them.
