Median stage durations

How long the typical project takes at each stage. The yellow Approval Speed bar is the weighted composite (stages 1 + 2 + 25% of stage 3) used for ranking. The dashed line is the peer-group benchmark (25th percentile of approval speed).

Application-to-permit conversion

What share of applications receive a building permit within each time window? The projected rate estimates eventual outcomes for recent applications.

Within 1 month Within 3 months Within 6 months Within 24 months

Projected eventual permit rate: 94% (based on historical cohorts with 24+ months of data)

Overall app → permit rate 80%
Permit → completion rate 0%

RHNA progress

California's Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) mandates that each jurisdiction plan for and permit a target number of housing units over an 8-year cycle (2023–2031), broken down by income level. The bars below show how many units have been permitted so far toward each target.

Overall RHNA progress 11 / 87 (13%)
Very Low Income 0 / 10 (0%)
Low Income 0 / 11 (0%)
Moderate Income 6 / 16 (38%)
Above Moderate 5 / 50 (10%)

Jurisdictions that fall behind their RHNA targets may face state accountability measures, including SB 35 ministerial streamlining requirements for housing projects.
