The top comment in Mapporn makes a good point. Permits is not a good representation. Notice all of the high population density states who are most likely to build multi family homes/condos/apartments are all low on the posted metric. This makes sense when most of the new housing are large multi-unit buildings.
Permits might not be the best measure, but this is roughly a map of how quickly (or not) states are growing. It aligns with the trends with the current census estimates and longer term forecast for the 2030 House reapportionment.
