License records
The state file is a snapshot from October 3, 2026. These are license records, not open beds or current availability.
City names are mailing cities from the state file; a home can carry a city's mailing address without being inside its city limits.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Placer County | 20 | 457 | 11 | 5 | 4 |

How the supply has changed
Over the five years ending October 3, 2026, about as many homes were first licensed as closed for real. We call that flat.
| First licensed | Licenses still open |
|---|---|
| Before 2010 | 5 |
| 2010 to May 25, 2020 | 6 |
| May 26, 2020 to May 25, 2022 | 2 |
| May 26, 2022 to May 25, 2024 | 1 |
| May 26, 2024 to May 25, 2025 | 0 |
| May 26, 2025 to October 3, 2026 | 1 |
6 records took over the address of an earlier closed license.
| Closed | How we know | Real closures | Changed owners | Moved within the city | All closures | Of these, inferred |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| May 26, 2020 to May 25, 2022 | Inferred | 5 | 1 | 0 | 6 | 6 |
| May 26, 2022 to May 25, 2024 | Inferred | 1 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 2 |
| May 26, 2024 to May 25, 2025 | Inferred | 0 | 5 | 0 | 5 | 5 |
| May 26, 2025 to October 3, 2026 (licenses open on May 25, 2025 only) | Observed | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
A real closure is a license that ended without a change of owner, a move or an application. Closures with no recorded reason are inferred; the table shows how many in each period. Each period is counted once, and no window is added up across periods.
The first table counts only the licenses that are still open on the date of the current file. The comparison above also counts the homes that opened during those five years and closed later.
Closures after May 25, 2025 cover only the licenses that were open on that date. A license that opened and then closed after that date is missing from the comparison and the closure table.
The short answer
The state file of October 3, 2026 lists 20 Auburn license records under Placer County and 1 under Sacramento County.
The supply of licensed homes looks flat: about as many homes were first licensed as closed for real. That rests partly on closure dates inferred from an older state file.
