Section 1

Permit Volume

Inflection Point

The earlier series shows 265 selected rows in 2020 and 1,751 in 2021. A change in recorded volume does not by itself establish migration, demand or the completeness of historical reporting. Older records have had longer to change status, so selecting current Final or Issued labels also changes the annual comparison.

Selected Source Rows by Year (Final + Issued)

Final and Issued permits only. Residential, commercial, repair, solar, EV. 2026 is partial through June 25.

Residential vs Commercial

Residential has averaged over 83% of all real construction permits since 2021.

Permit Status Breakdown

Final and Issued are source status labels. Their combined 16,681 rows do not establish current construction activity.

Section 2

Declared Permit Valuation

The Number That Matters

Rancho Cordova declared $462 million in construction value in 2024 alone: 7.9 times the $58.8 million declared in 2020 in the earlier study. Valuations do not establish actual spending, market value or the reasons for a change.

Total Declared Construction Value by Year ($M)

Reported valuation fields, not actual construction spending or verified market values.

Section 3

Production-Home Source Labels

What the source labels establish

The selected records include 4,115 rows under two Production Home (New) labels. The workbook has no explicit dwelling-unit-count column. Separate solar and EV-related labels do not establish how many homes have either installation or both.

Production-Home-Labeled Records by Year

"Production Home (New)" AP Type only (Final + Issued). Excludes custom builds and trade permits.

Solar + EV Charging Permits by Year

Historical source-label counts; no home-level linkage or installation rate is established.

Growth Districts

This map is retained from the earlier study. Its parcel matching, coordinates and district assignments have not been independently revalidated in this review. Recorded permit locations do not establish current jobsites or homes built. Do not use this map to assess site-level conditions.

Each point = one permitted parcel (exact APN location)

Each heat point is a single permitted parcel, located by its assessor parcel number through the Sacramento County parcel layer, not an estimate. No street addresses are displayed. Color intensity reflects how many permits concentrate in an area; multi-permit parcels are capped so one busy site cannot dominate the scale. Labeled markers are named subdivisions; click one to open Google Maps satellite and verify on the ground. Final + Issued permits only (16,626 of 16,681 geocoded, 99.7%). 2026 covers January through June.

How This Was Built

Methodology

Data Source

A 20,267-row workbook is retained with the Rancho Cordova public-records research materials. Original receipt correspondence and complete coverage have not been established in this review. The earlier study selected Final and Issued status labels (16,681 rows). Fields include permit number, type, status, category, work type, apply/issued/finaled dates, square footage, builder, declared valuation, APN, address, and subdivision.

Processing Method

The earlier study contains normalized builder and subdivision groups, annual chart series and a retained map. This review recalculates workbook aggregates separately and distinguishes source measurements from transformations that have not been independently reproduced.
