What these records support—and what they do not

The record contains 11,707 housing units authorized in Associated county-level area (San Diego) for 2025. Treat this as county new-residential-construction context, not San Diego service calls or a count of work available to contractors.

The location income field and the county income figure have different derivations. Use the specific source and geography labels above when describing San Diego; neither a matrix estimate nor an average of ZCTA medians establishes a city median or an income trend.
