What these numbers say about electrical in Modesto

By record count, electrical is the sixth largest of the 11 trades this site counts in Modesto, behind plumbing 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 Modesto.

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

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

Far more of Modesto's electrical records carry no street address than across California. What a blank street line is and is not is set out on the methodology page.

A smaller share of Modesto's electrical 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 Modesto electrical record sits inside California, the state the licensed share is computed inside, so that share covers nearly the whole metro.

More electrical licences lapsed in Modesto 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 electrical in Modesto 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.

The occupational series the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes for this trade counts 770 workers across Modesto, and this site publishes 79 electrical 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.

No Modesto electrical record is classified as a franchise brand or a corporate-owned location, so the chain split here is independent records and records still in review.

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

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

No city inside Modesto differs from the metro enough on electrical 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 electrical page for, Modesto is 12th of 19 by records per resident, around the middle. The field is the metro areas this site publishes a electrical page for rather than every metro area in California.

Ordered by electrical records per resident across every metro area this site publishes a electrical page for, the hubs either side of Modesto are Macon-Bibb County above it and Amarillo below it.
