What these numbers say about landscaping in Modesto

By record count, landscaping is the fourth largest of the 11 trades this site counts in Modesto, behind flooring and ahead of plumbing. 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 carries fewer landscaping records than California as a whole.

The independent share of Modesto'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.

Far fewer of Modesto's landscaping records are missing a street address than across California.

A larger share of Modesto's landscaping 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 Modesto 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 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 landscaping 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.

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

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

No landscaping 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 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, Modesto is 16th of 19 by records per resident, in the bottom quarter. 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 Modesto are New Orleans-Metairie above it and Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim below it.
