What these numbers say about plumbing in San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad
By record count, plumbing is the fifth largest of the 11 trades this site counts in San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, behind flooring 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 San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad.
Per resident, San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad carries fewer plumbing records than California as a whole.
The independent share of San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad's plumbing 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 San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad's plumbing records are missing a street address than across California.
A larger share of San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad's plumbing 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 San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad plumbing record sits inside California, the state the licensed share is computed inside, so that share covers nearly the whole metro.
Plumbing licences issued and licences lapsed in San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad were close to level over the last twelve months, so the licensed side of this trade held its size here. Both figures come from the state's own status field.
More active California licences covering plumbing in San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad 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 5,100 workers across San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, and this site publishes 590 plumbing 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 San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad plumbing records that are not independent, franchise brands outnumber corporate-owned locations.
No San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad plumbing record is waiting on chain review, so the independent, franchise and corporate counts above account for the whole list.
More plumbing records first appeared in San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad 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.
