For
Homeowners researching inground-pool costs
Worth noticing
Its state table uses advertised builder ranges where permit prices appear to understate what builders charge.

Field notes

The public page combines state-level price ranges with city-level counts of estimated new installations, then offers an address field for a more local report. It says permit values can omit decks, fences, and landscaping, and notes that some state ranges use advertised builder prices when permits are scarce or appear below builder charges. The sample report is for a house in Lakeway, Texas.
