Not long ago, it seemed like new houses and apartments were popping up all over Clark County. But not anymore.
The city of Vancouver issued construction permits for about 2,500 residential units in 2021, including nearly 2,000 multifamily units and 572 single-family homes.
That number plummeted in 2024, with residential construction permits issued for 1,245 units, including just more than 1,000 multifamily units and only 145 homes, according to city data.
