Share held by the ten most active listed companies

Companies means companies named on permits. The ten most active listed companies hold 2,132 of the 5,557 permits, so you can add the share up from the Austin list. 386 of the 5,557 permits aren't tied to a listed company: 336 name no contractor and 50 name one of the 12 companies we don't list. How this works says why a name is held back.

Permits by job

Each run is that job's share of the 5,557 permits. Counts overlap by job: one permit can count under more than one job, so the four job counts add up to more than the total.
