What these numbers say about roofing in Merced

By record count, roofing is the fifth largest of the 11 trades this site counts in Merced, behind HVAC and ahead of electrical. That ordering is a property of the source data's categories rather than a judgement about which trade matters most in Merced.

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

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

A far smaller share of Merced's roofing records link to an active state licence than the California figure for the same trade. Where the join is this weak the share above is a floor, and no record on this page is described on the strength of it.

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

More roofing licences lapsed in Merced 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 roofing in Merced have no matching record in open place data, deduplicated on the licence, and none of those licences appear in the list below.

The occupational series the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes for this trade counts 60 workers across Merced, and this site publishes 28 roofing 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 Merced roofing records that are not independent, corporate-owned locations outnumber franchise brands.

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

No roofing record in Merced first appeared or was flagged closed over the last twelve months, so this page carries no twelve-month movement for this trade and metro.
