What this means
The observed post-storm permit rate is above its pre-storm baseline. Permit activity alone does not identify unrepaired properties. No complete parcel/property universe is available, and source coverage can be incomplete. This ZIP has fewer recorded permits per observed day than the nearby observed ZIP comparison group; this may also reflect source coverage, not unaddressed roofs.
