What these numbers say about Colorado Springs

Other home service is Colorado Springs's largest trade, and three of every five records this site holds here sit in it. It holds more than three times as many records as landscaping, the next largest.

In order, Colorado Springs's four largest trades are other home service, landscaping, roofing and flooring. Other home service alone reaches half of every record on this page.

All eleven trades carry at least one record in Colorado Springs. The smallest of them here is pool.

Colorado Springs's three smallest trades are pool, pest control and electrical. Between them they still hold a workable share of the metro.

Every trade in Colorado Springs clears the record floor a trade page has to meet, so each has a page of its own. That is a statement about how thick this metro's thinnest trade is.

Per resident, Colorado Springs sits close to the Colorado rate, so the counts here read as ordinary for the state.

Roofing takes a larger share of Colorado Springs than of Colorado, which is the clearest way this metro's mix departs from its state's.

Electrical is thinner in Colorado Springs than across Colorado, the mirror of the lean above.

Read per resident, the top of the table does not move: other home service, landscaping and roofing are Colorado Springs's three densest trades, and pest control its thinnest.

No Colorado Springs trade carries a measured licensed share, so every row of that column reads as not published rather than as zero.

A median hourly wage is published for HVAC, plumbing, electrical and roofing in Colorado Springs. Of those, HVAC pays the most and roofing the least.

Cleaning, flooring, landscaping, other home service, painting, pest control and pool carry no wage figure for Colorado Springs, so those rows are blank rather than filled from a neighbouring occupation.

Electrical carries Colorado Springs's largest published employment count: the occupational series counts 1,290 workers across the metro, and this site publishes 85 electrical 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. Plumbing, HVAC and roofing follow it.
