ProFix Directory. (2026-06-13). Permit-Activity Index: Where Matched Contractors Pull the Most Permits (2026). https://profixdirectory.com/data-studies/permit-activity-index-2026. Data source: data/seed/gold-tier-pros-by-state/*.json, data/permits/matched-2026-06.json.
Methodology
Read data/permits/matched-2026-06.json, keep permits issued in the 365 days ending 2026-06-13, join permit slugs to streamed pro shards, then divide matched permit count by verified pro count in that state. The index compares each state against the study's matched-permit baseline.

Limitations
- Permit feeds are uneven by jurisdiction and do not cover every city or county.
- The match file caps permits per pro, so this is a comparable activity index, not a full permit census.
- 0 permit-match slugs were not present in the current streamed study-state shard set and were excluded.
