What these numbers say about pool in Santa Cruz-Watsonville
By record count, pool is the smallest of the 11 trades this site counts in Santa Cruz-Watsonville, behind pest control. That ordering is a property of the source data's categories rather than a judgement about which trade matters most in Santa Cruz-Watsonville.
Per resident, Santa Cruz-Watsonville carries fewer pool records than California as a whole.
The independent share of Santa Cruz-Watsonville'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.
Almost every Santa Cruz-Watsonville pool record sits inside California, the state the licensed share is computed inside, so that share covers nearly the whole metro.
More pool licences lapsed in Santa Cruz-Watsonville 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.
Some active California licences covering pool in Santa Cruz-Watsonville have no matching record in open place data, deduplicated on the licence, and none of those licences appear in the list below.
No Bureau of Labor Statistics occupation maps to pool cleanly enough to print, so Santa Cruz-Watsonville carries no employment or wage figure for this trade rather than one built from an occupation that means something else.
No Santa Cruz-Watsonville 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.
No Santa Cruz-Watsonville pool record is waiting on chain review, so the independent, franchise and corporate counts above account for the whole list.
More pool records in Santa Cruz-Watsonville were flagged closed over the last twelve months than first appeared, so the file for this trade and metro shrank. A closed flag is a signal contributed upstream, not a confirmed closure.
