By the numbers
311 yesterday: 8,405 · typical Tuesday: 8,168 · Westwood: 226 · quakes 24h: 51 (max M2.2) · permit value 30d: $987,939,448Correction, September 18, 2026: the permit figure this edition labels “30-day window” / “permit value 30d” is the declared value of every permit on our record when it was written (issued since May 7, 2026) — not a 30-day total. The label was accurate in early June and drifted as the record grew. Editions from September 19 print a true 30-day figure with its dates. Archived text is left as published.
