How we count

Every month: a digest of new-housing licences (INE, three-month window) by municipality — the largest volumes and the largest rises and falls on a year earlier, only where there were at least 50 dwellings — and the largest new-construction cases opened in the month at the councils we follow, from 10 dwellings.
