What the file shows
Roof Replacement is the work Anaheim files most: 1,671 of these 2,926 permits, 57% of the file. The dearest median here is Swimming Pool at $20,000; the cheapest is Deck or Patio at $8,000.
The figure to read is not the median but the range next to it. Siding or Stucco is the least predictable work in this jurisdiction: half of those jobs land between $5,000 and $20,000, a 4.0× spread inside one city and one kind of work. A median says where the middle sits. It does not say which half a particular job is in, and on work that varies this much the difference is the whole decision.
