Not all building permit offices are in the monthly survey. For offices that only report annually, no estimate is made of their monthly activity, so the monthly estimate of the metropolitan area total may be missing some data. This column shows the percentage of 2006 housing units authorized of those places in the monthly survey in this metropolitan area.
