What these numbers say about plumbing in Anchorage
By record count, plumbing is the eighth largest of the 11 trades this site counts in Anchorage, behind roofing and ahead of painting. That ordering is a property of the source data's categories rather than a judgement about which trade matters most in Anchorage.
Per resident, Anchorage sits close to the Alaska rate for plumbing, so the count at the top of this page reads as ordinary for the state.
The independent share of Anchorage's plumbing records is close to the Alaska figure, so the mix of independent, franchise-brand and corporate-owned records here is ordinary for the state.
Alaska publishes no business-level licence source for plumbing that a listing can be matched against, so the licensed share for Anchorage is shown as not published rather than as zero, and no plumbing record on this page is described one way or the other on the strength of a file that does not exist.
No licence issuance or lapse figure is published for plumbing in Anchorage, so no churn figure appears on this page rather than a zero standing in for one.
The occupational series the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes for this trade counts 640 workers across Anchorage, and this site publishes 52 plumbing records here. The two count different things, one an occupation across every employer and the other the businesses on this site, so they stand side by side rather than one against the other.
Of the Anchorage plumbing records that are not independent, franchise brands outnumber corporate-owned locations.
No Anchorage plumbing record is waiting on chain review, so the independent, franchise and corporate counts above account for the whole list.
More plumbing records in Anchorage were flagged closed over the last twelve months than first appeared, so the file for this trade and metro shrank. A closed flag is a signal contributed upstream, not a confirmed closure.
No city inside Anchorage differs from the metro enough on plumbing to carry a page of its own, so every record here is answered on this page.
Anchorage is the only Alaska metro area this site publishes a plumbing page for, so there is no second Alaska hub of this trade to rank it against.
Ordered by plumbing records per resident across every metro area this site publishes a plumbing page for, the hubs either side of Anchorage are Kansas City above it and Albany-Schenectady-Troy below it.
