What these numbers say about pool in Gainesville

By record count, pool is the smallest of the 11 trades this site counts in Gainesville, behind pest control. That ordering is a property of the source data's categories rather than a judgement about which trade matters most in Gainesville.

Per resident, Gainesville carries far fewer pool records than Florida as a whole.

The independent share of Gainesville's pool records is close to the Florida figure, so the mix of independent, franchise-brand and corporate-owned records here is ordinary for the state.

A far larger share of Gainesville's pool records link to an active state licence than the Florida figure for the same trade. That measures how well two files join in Gainesville, not whether the businesses in either one hold a licence.

Almost every Gainesville pool record sits inside Florida, the state the licensed share is computed inside, so that share covers nearly the whole metro.

Gainesville has a count of pool licences issued in the last twelve months but no observable lapse count, so the issued figure is published alone rather than turned into a churn rate it cannot support.

Some active Florida licences covering pool in Gainesville 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 Gainesville carries no employment or wage figure for this trade rather than one built from an occupation that means something else.

No Gainesville 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 Gainesville'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.

No pool record in Gainesville first appeared or was flagged closed over the last twelve months, so this page carries no twelve-month movement for this trade and metro.

No city inside Gainesville 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 16 Florida metro areas this site publishes a pool page for, Gainesville is 14th of 16 by records per resident, in the bottom quarter. The field is the metro areas this site publishes a pool page for rather than every metro area in Florida.

Ordered by pool records per resident across every metro area this site publishes a pool page for, the hubs either side of Gainesville are Kiryas Joel-Poughkeepsie-Newburgh above it and Mobile below it.
