Useful context, not a one-size-fits-all answer.
The housing figures explain the scale of the local property market, while the permits figure is one signal of where new residential work is happening. The fire-hazard figures describe mapped State Responsibility Areas, not a prediction for any individual parcel. For a specific property, always check the current local map and discuss the site conditions that affect the job.
For fence planning, the practical questions remain the same: What needs to be enclosed or accessed? How will the gate be used? What do the grade, exposure and existing structures require? A site-specific conversation turns broad county context into a useful scope of work.
