Why we checked itLamont claims Connecticut had one of the largest increases in new housing permits of any state in the country last year — a specific, verifiable comparative statistic that could be checked against national housing permit data.
What we foundConnecticut did not have the biggest increase in housing permits among states in the year referenced; the Census Bureau's own 2024 annual highlights ranked Rhode Island, Wyoming, Montana, Delaware, and Illinois as the top five states for percentage increases, with Connecticut absent from that list, and full-year 2023 data showed Connecticut's permit growth at only ~0.1% over 2022.
