This dataset of over 1.5 million building permits issued in Los Angeles between 2006 and 2025 offers a comprehensive view of the city's development trends.
It captures the dominance of single-family residential permits, the steady rise of accessory dwelling units (ADUs), and the growth of multifamily and commercial projects in dense urban areas like Downtown, Hollywood, and Koreatown. The data also highlights increased home renovations and infill construction in recent years, reflecting evolving housing needs and policy shifts.
Geographic patterns show active development in both central and suburban districts, with the South and West Valley regions leading in total permits. Estimated project values and construction types further illustrate the diversity in scale and scope across neighborhoods.
Together, these insights help reveal how Los Angeles has grown—physically, economically, and politically—through cycles of expansion, reinvestment, and adaptation.
