What these numbers say about painting in Boise City

By record count, painting is the eighth largest of the 11 trades this site counts in Boise City, behind roofing 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 Boise City.

Per resident, Boise City sits close to the Idaho rate for painting, so the count at the top of this page reads as ordinary for the state.

The independent share of Boise City's painting records is close to the Idaho figure, so the mix of independent, franchise-brand and corporate-owned records here is ordinary for the state.

Idaho publishes no business-level licence source for painting that a listing can be matched against, so the licensed share for Boise City is shown as not published rather than as zero, and no painting record on this page is described one way or the other on the strength of a file that does not exist.

No licence issuance or lapse figure is published for painting in Boise City, so no churn figure appears on this page rather than a zero standing in for one.

No Bureau of Labor Statistics occupation maps to painting cleanly enough to print, so Boise City carries no employment or wage figure for this trade rather than one built from an occupation that means something else.

Of the Boise City painting records that are not independent, 2 are franchise brands and 1 are corporate-owned locations. The two are given as counts and not compared, because records here are still waiting on chain review.

Part of Boise City's painting 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 painting records first appeared in Boise City 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 Boise City differs from the metro enough on painting to carry a page of its own, so every record here is answered on this page.

Boise City is the only Idaho metro area this site publishes a painting page for, so there is no second Idaho hub of this trade to rank it against.

Ordered by painting records per resident across every metro area this site publishes a painting page for, the hubs either side of Boise City are San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara above it and Port St. Lucie below it.
