What these numbers say about Savannah
Other home service is Savannah'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, Savannah's four largest trades are other home service, landscaping, HVAC and roofing. Other home service alone reaches half of every record on this page.
All eleven trades carry at least one record in Savannah. The smallest of them here is pool.
Savannah's three smallest trades are pool, painting and pest control. Between them they still hold a workable share of the metro.
Every trade in Savannah 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, Savannah sits close to the Georgia rate, so the counts here read as ordinary for the state.
HVAC takes a larger share of Savannah than of Georgia, which is the clearest way this metro's mix departs from its state's.
Electrical is thinner in Savannah than across Georgia, the mirror of the lean above.
Read per resident, the top of the table does not move: other home service, landscaping and HVAC are Savannah's three densest trades, and painting its thinnest.
No Savannah trade carries a measured licensed share, so every row of that column reads as not published rather than as zero.
No licence issuance or lapse figure is published for Savannah, so no churn figure appears here rather than a zero standing in for one.
A median hourly wage is published for plumbing, electrical, HVAC and roofing in Savannah. Of those, plumbing pays the most and roofing the least.
Cleaning, flooring, landscaping, other home service, painting, pest control and pool carry no wage figure for Savannah, so those rows are blank rather than filled from a neighbouring occupation.
Electrical carries Savannah's largest published employment count: the occupational series counts 650 workers across the metro, and this site publishes 43 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, plumbing and roofing follow it.
Of the Savannah records that are not independent, corporate-owned locations outnumber franchise brands and concentrate in pest control; the most franchised trade here is cleaning.
Within Savannah, painting and landscaping are the most independently held trades and pest control the least.
Almost none of Savannah's records are waiting on chain review, so the independent, franchise and corporate counts here describe nearly the whole metro. Electrical holds what little of that bucket the metro has.
Painting is the Savannah 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 Savannah records first appeared over the last twelve months than were flagged closed, so the file for this metro grew. Electrical added the largest share of new records and pest control lost the largest share to closed flags.
