About This Ranking

Goal

Highlight places with more homes built in 2010 or later, with recent construction permits adding context where the town reports its own complete permit totals. Permits are not completed homes or homes for sale.

Data behind the rating

2 sources

2020-2024 U.S. Census ACS housing year built

2020-2024 survey, 2024 geography

What it tells us: Includes all housing units, including apartments and vacant homes; it does not describe homes currently for sale.

Census Building Permits Survey annual place files

2021-2025 annual files

Data: Privately owned housing units authorized in 2021-2025, using a town's own unfootnoted permit office only when all five years are completely reported.
