What these numbers say about painting in Fresno

By record count, painting is the eighth largest of the 11 trades this site counts in Fresno, behind electrical and ahead of roofing. 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 carries fewer painting records than California as a whole.

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

Fewer of Fresno's painting records are missing a street address than across California.

A larger share of Fresno's painting records link to an active state licence than the California figure for the same trade. That measures how well two files join here.

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

More painting 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.

More active California licences covering painting in Fresno have no matching record in open place data than this page lists records at all, and none of those licences appear in the list below.

No Bureau of Labor Statistics occupation maps to painting 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.

Of the Fresno painting records that are not independent, corporate-owned locations outnumber franchise brands.

No Fresno painting record is waiting on chain review, so the independent, franchise and corporate counts above account for the whole list.

Painting records first appearing in Fresno and records flagged closed were close to level over the last twelve months, so the file for this trade and metro held its size.

No city inside Fresno differs from the metro enough on painting 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 painting page for, Fresno is 16th of 19 by records per resident, in the bottom quarter. The field is the metro areas this site publishes a painting page for rather than every metro area in California.

Ordered by painting records per resident across every metro area this site publishes a painting page for, the hubs either side of Fresno are Merced above it and San Antonio-New Braunfels below it.
