What these numbers say about Peoria
Other home service is Peoria'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, Peoria'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 Peoria. The smallest of them here is pool.
Peoria's three smallest trades are pool, pest control and painting. Between them they still hold a workable share of the metro.
Every trade in Peoria 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, Peoria sits close to the Illinois rate, so the counts here read as ordinary for the state.
Against Illinois's own mix, Peoria is heaviest in pest control: that trade takes a far larger share of this metro than of the state.
Flooring is thinner in Peoria than across Illinois, the mirror of the lean above.
Read per resident, the top of the table does not move: other home service, landscaping and HVAC are Peoria's three densest trades, and pest control its thinnest.
No Peoria 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 Peoria, 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 Peoria. 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 Peoria, so those rows are blank rather than filled from a neighbouring occupation.
Electrical carries Peoria's largest published employment count: the occupational series counts 880 workers across the metro, and this site publishes 54 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. Plumbing, HVAC and roofing follow it.
Peoria's franchise-brand and corporate-owned records are close to even. The franchised ones concentrate in flooring and the corporate-owned ones in other home service.
Within Peoria, electrical and plumbing are the most independently held trades and pest control the least.
Almost none of Peoria's records are waiting on chain review, so the independent, franchise and corporate counts here describe nearly the whole metro. Pest control holds what little of that bucket the metro has.
HVAC is the Peoria 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 Peoria records first appeared over the last twelve months than were flagged closed, so the file for this metro grew. Roofing added the largest share of new records and other home service lost the largest share to closed flags.
