Data DescriptionSingle RowHousing indicators and building permits by place and yearCollection ModeCensus Bureau and local government housing unit dataLong DescriptionTotal number of building permits and associated population reported by the Census Bureau and the State Demography Office for counties and places in Colorado provided by the Colorado Department of Local Affairs (DOLA). CB stands for Census Bureau; these estimates are used at the federal level and mostly reflect annual updates provided by SDO and some local governments. SDO stands for State Demography Office – they make the official population estimates and forecasts for use by local and state governments and agencies in Colorado. The data accounts for frequent updates provided by cities, towns, and other government representative bodies (like a Council of Governments). These entities are called “local governments” and we privilege data provided by them over data provided by the Census Bureau. SDO and CB data may differ for several reasons – usually because SDO has received information from a local government and CB did not. Unincorporated areas are spaces that have not been annexed into a city or town. If data is blank, it is missing. Missing data does not indicate that there were zero building permits that year, only uncertainty in how many building permits were generated.
