Methodology. Figures are drawn from building permits issued by the six Phoenix-metro cities we cover daily (Phoenix, Mesa, Scottsdale, Tempe, Gilbert, Peoria), on a trailing-30-day basis, refreshed every day. Issue dates lag the city portals by about a day, so the most recent days fill in over time. Reuse the numbers with a link back to this page.
