What these numbers say about plumbing in Cedar Rapids
By record count, plumbing is the eighth largest of the 11 trades this site counts in Cedar Rapids, behind flooring and ahead of cleaning. That ordering is a property of the source data's categories rather than a judgement about which trade matters most in Cedar Rapids.

The independent share of Cedar Rapids's plumbing records is close to the Iowa figure, so the mix of independent, franchise-brand and corporate-owned records here is ordinary for the state.
