What these numbers say about Tallahassee

Other home service is Tallahassee's largest trade, and more than half of every record this site holds here sits in it. It holds more than three times as many records as landscaping, the next largest.

In order, Tallahassee's four largest trades are other home service, landscaping, HVAC and cleaning. Other home service alone reaches half of every record on this page.

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

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

Every trade in Tallahassee 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, Tallahassee sits close to the Florida rate, so the counts here read as ordinary for the state.

Against Florida's own mix, Tallahassee is heaviest in painting: that trade takes a far larger share of this metro than of the state.

Plumbing is thinner in Tallahassee than across Florida, the mirror of the lean above.

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

Of the Tallahassee trades with a measured licensed share, pool links to an active state licence most often and plumbing least often. That spread measures how well two files join here, not whether either row's businesses hold a licence.

Tallahassee has a count of trade-covering 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.

Almost every Tallahassee record sits inside the state whose licence file its share is computed from, so that share covers nearly the whole metro.

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

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

Electrical carries Tallahassee's largest published employment count: the occupational series counts 830 workers across the metro, and this site publishes 66 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. HVAC and plumbing follow it.

Of the Tallahassee records that are not independent, corporate-owned locations outnumber franchise brands and concentrate in pest control; the most franchised trade here is flooring.

Within Tallahassee, electrical and painting are the most independently held trades and pest control the least.

Almost none of Tallahassee's records are waiting on chain review, so the independent, franchise and corporate counts here describe nearly the whole metro. HVAC holds what little of that bucket the metro has.

Cleaning is the Tallahassee trade whose records most often carry no street address, and roofing the one whose records most often do. What a blank street line means is set out on the methodology page.

More Tallahassee records first appeared over the last twelve months than were flagged closed, so the file for this metro grew. HVAC added the largest share of new records and other home service lost the largest share to closed flags.

Inside this metro area, the city of Tallahassee itself differs from the wider metro enough to carry pages of its own.

Tallahassee, FL sits inside Florida alone, so the labour market this page counts and the licensing regime that governs it are the same geography.

Ordered by population, the metro areas either side of Tallahassee on this site are Beaumont-Port Arthur above it and Fayetteville below it. Those are the metros closest to it in population.
