What these numbers say about landscaping in Fresno

By record count, landscaping is the second largest of the 11 trades this site counts in Fresno, behind other home service and ahead of flooring. That ordering is a property of the source data's categories rather than a judgement about which trade matters most in Fresno.

Per resident, Fresno sits close to the California rate for landscaping, so the count at the top of this page reads as ordinary for the state.

The independent share of Fresno's landscaping records is close to the California figure, so the mix of independent, franchise-brand and corporate-owned records here is ordinary for the state.

Address completeness on Fresno's landscaping records is close to the California figure.

A smaller share of Fresno's landscaping records link to an active state licence than the California figure for the same trade. Read it as a measurement of the join between two files rather than as a description of any record below.

Almost every Fresno landscaping record sits inside California, the state the licensed share is computed inside, so that share covers nearly the whole metro.

More landscaping licences lapsed in Fresno over the last twelve months than were issued. A lapse is a licence that stopped being current, not a business that stopped trading. Both figures come from the state's own status field.

Some active California licences covering landscaping in Fresno have no matching record in open place data, deduplicated on the licence, and none of those licences appear in the list below.

No Bureau of Labor Statistics occupation maps to landscaping cleanly enough to print, so Fresno carries no employment or wage figure for this trade rather than one built from an occupation that means something else.

Fresno's franchise-brand and corporate-owned landscaping records are close to even in number.

Almost none of Fresno's landscaping records are waiting on chain review, so the independent, franchise and corporate counts above describe nearly the whole list.

More landscaping records first appeared in Fresno over the last twelve months than were flagged closed, so the file for this trade and metro grew. A record appears when the source learns of a business, which is a different event from a business opening.

No city inside Fresno differs from the metro enough on landscaping to carry a page of its own, so every record here is answered on this page.

Among the 19 California metro areas this site publishes a landscaping page for, Fresno is 9th of 19 by records per resident, around the middle. The field is the metro areas this site publishes a landscaping page for rather than every metro area in California.

Ordered by landscaping records per resident across every metro area this site publishes a landscaping page for, the hubs either side of Fresno are Lubbock above it and New York-Newark-Jersey City below it.
