What these numbers say about plumbing in Tuscaloosa
By record count, plumbing is the fifth largest of the 11 trades this site counts in Tuscaloosa, behind roofing and ahead of cleaning. That ordering is a property of the source data's categories rather than a judgement about which trade matters most in Tuscaloosa.
Per resident, Tuscaloosa carries far fewer plumbing records than Alabama as a whole.
The independent share of Tuscaloosa's plumbing records is close to the Alabama figure, so the mix of independent, franchise-brand and corporate-owned records here is ordinary for the state.
Alabama publishes no business-level licence source for plumbing that a listing can be matched against, so the licensed share for Tuscaloosa 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 Tuscaloosa, 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 370 workers across Tuscaloosa, and this site publishes 24 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 Tuscaloosa plumbing records that are not independent, franchise brands outnumber corporate-owned locations.
No Tuscaloosa plumbing record is waiting on chain review, so the independent, franchise and corporate counts above account for the whole list.
