What these numbers say about pool in Modesto

By record count, pool is the tenth largest of the 11 trades this site counts in Modesto, behind cleaning and ahead of pest control. 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 more pool records than California as a whole.

The independent share of Modesto's pool 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 pool 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 pool 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 pool record sits inside California, the state the licensed share is computed inside, so that share covers nearly the whole metro.

More pool licences were issued in Modesto over the last twelve months than lapsed, so the licensed side of this trade in this metro grew. Both figures come from the state's own status field.

More active California licences covering pool 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 pool 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 pool 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.

Part of Modesto's pool records are still waiting on chain review, which is what a name that meets the chain threshold and has not been classified yet is called. While that is true the franchise-to-corporate ratio here is incomplete and is not published as a ratio, and none of those records is described as independent.

More pool records first appeared in Modesto 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 Modesto differs from the metro enough on pool to carry a page of its own, so every record here is answered on this page.

Among the 17 California metro areas this site publishes a pool page for, Modesto is 4th of 17 by records per resident, inside the top quarter. The field is the metro areas this site publishes a pool page for rather than every metro area in California.

Ordered by pool records per resident across every metro area this site publishes a pool page for, the hubs either side of Modesto are Santa Rosa-Petaluma above it and Lakeland-Winter Haven below it.
