What these numbers say about plumbing in San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara

By record count, plumbing is the fourth largest of the 11 trades this site counts in San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, behind flooring and ahead of HVAC. That ordering is a property of the source data's categories rather than a judgement about which trade matters most in San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara.

Per resident, San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara carries fewer plumbing records than California as a whole.

The independent share of San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara'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.

Address completeness on San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara's plumbing records is close to the California figure.

A larger share of San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara'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 Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara plumbing record sits inside California, the state the licensed share is computed inside, so that share covers nearly the whole metro.

More plumbing licences lapsed in San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara 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 plumbing in San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara 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 3,830 workers across San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, and this site publishes 321 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 Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara plumbing records that are not independent, corporate-owned locations outnumber franchise brands.

Almost none of San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara's plumbing records are waiting on chain review, so the independent, franchise and corporate counts above describe nearly the whole list.

More plumbing records first appeared in San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara 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 San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara differs from the metro enough on plumbing 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 plumbing page for, San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara is 10th of 19 by records per resident, around the middle. The field is the metro areas this site publishes a plumbing page for rather than every metro area in California.

Ordered by plumbing records per resident across every metro area this site publishes a plumbing page for, the hubs either side of San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara are Providence-Warwick above it and Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton below it.
