What these numbers say about roofing in Gainesville

By record count, roofing is the ninth largest of the 11 trades this site counts in Gainesville, behind flooring and ahead of 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 fewer roofing records than Florida as a whole.

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

The share of Gainesville's roofing records linking to an active state licence is close to the Florida figure for the same trade.

Almost every Gainesville roofing 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 roofing 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.

More active Florida licences covering roofing in Gainesville 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 340 workers across Gainesville, and this site publishes 39 roofing 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 Gainesville roofing records that are not independent, 0 are franchise brands and 2 are corporate-owned locations. The two are given as counts and not compared, because records here are still waiting on chain review.

Part of Gainesville's roofing 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.

More roofing records first appeared in Gainesville 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 Gainesville differs from the metro enough on roofing 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 roofing page for, Gainesville is 15th of 16 by records per resident, in the bottom quarter. The field is the metro areas this site publishes a roofing page for rather than every metro area in Florida.

Ordered by roofing records per resident across every metro area this site publishes a roofing page for, the hubs either side of Gainesville are San Luis Obispo-Paso Robles above it and Modesto below it.
