    Dallas report units are proposed dwelling units associated with reported permit records, not starts, completions, certificates, or additional units to add to Census CBSA totals.

    The dwelling report filters General Contractor licenses and selected land uses; the construction report has Applicant contact rows. Their report populations differ.

    No independent published control total was found in these exports. Cross-report agreement checks overlap only, not report completeness.

    Raw workbooks contain public-record names, addresses, businesses, and phone fields. Public derivatives expose aggregate values and source provenance only.

    Public download availability is documented; an explicit reuse license or redistribution grant is not asserted.

    Maintained snapshot custody and replay

    Separate from the detailed release. Maintained CBSA snapshots expose retained monthly releases and an unallocated YTD revision residual, not a revised place-level series. Downloaded replay packs exclude municipal raw records and quantities.

    Offline verification: node scripts/housing-evidence-cli.mjs verify PACK.json --sha256 DIGEST. Use replay instead of verify to print the reconstructed Census projection. The digest is shown after a successful download.
