Pick any two metros. The bars share one scale across the gutter, so
their lengths are the comparison - no need to read the numbers to see which builds
more. Each metro is also flagged on its own against the U.S. average of about
4.5 units permitted per 1,000 residents.

This is a static no-JS tool: every card is pre-rendered and CSS reveals your
two picks. Because the pair is chosen in the browser, the page cannot compute a
pairwise winner without shipping JavaScript - so it gives you shared-scale bars
and a fixed U.S.-average baseline instead, both honest without it. All figures
are illustrative stand-ins until the real BPS ingest lands.
