County-wide construction activity, across all trades rather than electricians specifically. Each figure names its source and the period it covers.
| Measure | Value | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|
| New housing units permitted | 4 | Last full year, county-wide. 11 per 10,000 residents. Permits lead construction hiring by months, so this is the earliest honest signal of work arriving (Census Building Permits Survey). |
| Median year homes were built | 1992 | Older stock means more repair, replacement and retrofit work, which is steadier than new build and does not stop in a downturn (Census ACS). |
| Net migration | -83 | People who moved in minus people who moved out, from IRS address changes. Arrivals need housing, wiring, plumbing and heat. |
2.7 licensed electricians per 10,000 residents. A thin pipeline against an ageing licensed base is how a shortage forms years before it shows up in wages.
