Are those numbers county-wide, or just the KC portions of those counties?

I still misunderstand, I guess. Why would you need a permit for your family to live somewhere?

It is a building permit for a contracter to build the house. You need a permit to construct a house, to not live in it. In this case they are talking about single family permits, which are for detached houses mean to hold one family. Likewise, a multifamily permit would be for something like apartments, condos, townhouses, etc.

Is there any way to tell which of those are within the urban core of KC?

No way to tell that from the pages I was looking at, Bahua.
I made a mistake in the post: those numbers include each year's July count rather than ending on July 1 like I said.
Also, the formatting didn't hold. The last three numbers on the KC lines are the subtotals for Missouri, Kansas, and Johnson County. The percentages on the Olathe lines refer to the Missouri, Kansas, and Johnson County shares of the total.
