What these numbers say about Wichita

Other home service is Wichita's largest trade, and two of every five records here sit in it. It holds more than three times as many records as landscaping, the next largest.

In order, Wichita's four largest trades are other home service, landscaping, roofing and HVAC. Other home service and landscaping alone reach half of every record on this page.

All eleven trades carry at least one record in Wichita. The smallest of them here is pool.

Wichita's three smallest trades are pool, pest control and cleaning. Between them they still hold a workable share of the metro.

Every trade in Wichita 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, Wichita sits close to the Kansas rate, so the counts here read as ordinary for the state.

Against Kansas's own mix, Wichita is heaviest in pool: that trade takes a far larger share of this metro than of the state.

Even Wichita's thinnest trade against Kansas, HVAC, sits close to the state share.

Read per resident, the top of the table does not move: other home service, landscaping and roofing are Wichita's three densest trades, and pool its thinnest.

No Wichita 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 Wichita, so no churn figure appears here rather than a zero standing in for one.

A median hourly wage is published for electrical, plumbing, HVAC and roofing in Wichita. Of those, electrical pays the most and roofing the least.

Cleaning, flooring, landscaping, other home service, painting, pest control and pool carry no wage figure for Wichita, so those rows are blank rather than filled from a neighbouring occupation.

Electrical carries Wichita's largest published employment count: the occupational series counts 1,610 workers across the metro, and this site publishes 102 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 Wichita records that are not independent, franchise brands outnumber corporate-owned locations and concentrate in flooring; the heaviest corporate-owned trade here is pest control.

Within Wichita, pool and landscaping are the most independently held trades and pest control the least.

Almost none of Wichita'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.
