What these numbers say about Evansville
Other home service is Evansville'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, Evansville's four largest trades are other home service, landscaping, roofing and HVAC. Other home service alone reaches half of every record on this page.
All eleven trades carry at least one record in Evansville. The smallest of them here is pool.
Evansville's three smallest trades are pool, pest control and electrical. Between them they still hold a workable share of the metro.
Every trade in Evansville 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, Evansville sits close to the Indiana rate, so the counts here read as ordinary for the state.
Painting takes a larger share of Evansville than of Indiana, which is the clearest way this metro's mix departs from its state's.
HVAC is thinner in Evansville than across Indiana, the mirror of the lean above.
Read per resident, the top of the table does not move: other home service, landscaping and roofing are Evansville's three densest trades, and pest control its thinnest.
No Evansville 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 Evansville, so no churn figure appears here rather than a zero standing in for one.
A median hourly wage is published for electrical, plumbing, roofing and HVAC in Evansville. Of those, electrical pays the most and HVAC the least.
Cleaning, flooring, landscaping, other home service, painting, pest control and pool carry no wage figure for Evansville, so those rows are blank rather than filled from a neighbouring occupation.
Electrical carries Evansville's largest published employment count: the occupational series counts 1,170 workers across the metro, and this site publishes 36 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.
Of the Evansville records that are not independent, corporate-owned locations outnumber franchise brands and concentrate in flooring; the most franchised trade here is flooring.
Within Evansville, electrical and landscaping are the most independently held trades and flooring the least.
