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: 71% (based on historical cohorts with 24+ months of data)

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
57 / 213
(27%)
Very Low Income
34 / 55
(62%)
Low Income
13 / 31
(42%)
Moderate Income
0 / 35
(0%)
Above Moderate

(11%)
Jurisdictions that fall behind their RHNA targets may face state accountability measures, including SB 35 ministerial streamlining requirements for housing projects.
