What these numbers say about plumbing in Rockford
By record count, plumbing is the seventh largest of the 11 trades this site counts in Rockford, behind electrical and ahead of flooring. That ordering is a property of the source data's categories rather than a judgement about which trade matters most in Rockford.
Per resident, Rockford carries fewer plumbing records than Illinois as a whole.
The independent share of Rockford's plumbing records is close to the Illinois figure, so the mix of independent, franchise-brand and corporate-owned records here is ordinary for the state.
Illinois publishes no business-level licence source for plumbing that a listing can be matched against, so the licensed share for Rockford is shown as not published rather than as zero, and no plumbing 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 plumbing in Rockford, so no churn figure appears on this page rather than a zero standing in for one.
The occupational series the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes for this trade counts 440 workers across Rockford, and this site publishes 56 plumbing 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.
Of the Rockford plumbing records that are not independent, franchise brands outnumber corporate-owned locations.
No Rockford plumbing record is waiting on chain review, so the independent, franchise and corporate counts above account for the whole list.
