How to show Growth

[Yuushi]

I like to see the locations that players encounter grow as they do, but it is incredibly hard to find a d100 (or even a d20) table that describes mundane growth of a village. I'm thinking things that are less like encounters or plot hooks, and more like daily life.

A few examples might include:

Village dug a new well
Elderly folk died
construction began on a new house
A house burned down
A shop went bankrupt
etc


Does anyone have any suggestions or know of a list like this?

Thank y'all!

I grab small local papers offline from tiny towns from a over to get some randomness into town progression.
I love looping in players' choices as the cause of some of the good or bad changes.

As a DM, I like to have the world I created constantly change regardless if the party is present or not and any choices they have made (and whether it impacts the world positively or negatively) will be reflected as well.

I like what y'all are suggesting! Plus utilizing some real world aspects of growth could be fun!
