County jobs against housing units permitted (BLS QCEW + Census BPS)

County BLS QCEW annual-average job change against prior-year Census BPS housing units authorized by permit, plus permits as a share of ACS housing stock for an address or point. Returns published benchmarks and critiques without Locus labels. Zero denominator returns null with reason; component status is separate. National. Use this when you can call Locus free tools (REST tools/call or MCP). Use locus-housing-supply-balance instead when your client can only call paid x402 routes; it returns the same records. Direct flat-body route for this one free resource; no API key, payment, or catalog wrapper. Return only the cited bounded evidence described here; this route never produces a paid brief or full report.
