What this visual supports

Sacramento reported 2,737 permitted housing units in 2025, an increase of 438 from 2024. The six-year series is a separate housing measure and is not joined to the 2026 permit-record browser.

Read these limits with the chart

  • Permitted housing units are not completed homes and do not show when construction started or finished.
  • The HCD comparison selects Sacramento, reporting year, and permit issue dates within that calendar year before summing the units field.
  • Agreement between the City and selected HCD totals is a consistency check. It does not independently verify every underlying record.
