The Syracuse Metro is ranked #156 for new single family homes in 2003. Yet, the Syracuse metro is ranked about 70th largest in population. If the Syracuse metro was a "normal" growing metro, it should have more than double the number of single family building permits each year.

Therefore, the Syracuse Metro should have about 4,000 single family building permits each year.

CNY Indicator Goal: need 2,500 more single family building permits each year in the Syracuse Metro.
