This first local edition brings together building permits, home-sale prices,
Lake Erie water samples, county employment, household estimates, and recent
public actions in one receipt-backed snapshot.
The figures do not tell residents what to think. They show where each number
came from, when it was fetched, and where source limits apply, so neighbors can
decide which changes deserve a closer look.
Figures
Residential permits
Residential permits, through June 2026.
Source: hud_socds_census_bps_permits, fetched 2026-07-06, 440 rows. Caveat: HUD building-permit months publish with a lag; place and county values may include imputed fields.
Median valid sale price
Median valid sale price, through June 2026.
Source: lorain_county_auditor_property, fetched 2026-07-05, 78958 rows. Caveat: The auditor extract is a weekly full snapshot; valid-sale trends exclude non-arm's-length and nominal transfers.
Lake Erie E. coli calendar
Lake Erie E. coli calendar, through June 2026.
Source: odh_beachguard, fetched 2026-07-13, 5480 rows. Caveat: Beachguard is a full snapshot; Avon Lake beaches can have long unsampled periods and sample dates do not imply daily testing.
Lorain County employment
Lorain County employment, through June 2026.
Source: bls_qcew_lorain, fetched 2026-07-06, 84512 rows. Caveat: The QCEW slice begins in 2014 and the two newest quarters remain preliminary until BLS revisions arrive.
Avon Lake households
Avon Lake households, through June 2026.
Source: census_acs_avonlake, fetched 2026-07-05, 112 rows. Caveat: ACS values are annual survey estimates, not administrative counts, and the newest vintage is published with a lag.
Source: avon_lake_boards_hearings, fetched 2026-07-09, 463 rows. Caveat: Five board archives plus notices are covered; scanned PDFs without a text layer are marked as needing OCR.
Source: avon_lake_council_agendas_minutes, fetched 2026-07-08, 289 rows. Caveat: Council agenda and minutes coverage begins in 2023; older records require a public-records request.
