What these numbers say about roofing in Lafayette

By record count, roofing is the sixth largest of the 11 trades this site counts in Lafayette, behind plumbing and ahead of cleaning. That ordering is a property of the source data's categories rather than a judgement about which trade matters most in Lafayette.

Per resident, Lafayette sits close to the Louisiana rate for roofing, so the count at the top of this page reads as ordinary for the state.

The independent share of Lafayette's roofing records is close to the Louisiana figure, so the mix of independent, franchise-brand and corporate-owned records here is ordinary for the state.

Louisiana publishes no business-level licence source for roofing that a listing can be matched against, so the licensed share for Lafayette is shown as not published rather than as zero, and no roofing 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 roofing in Lafayette, 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 80 workers across Lafayette, and this site publishes 58 roofing 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 Lafayette roofing records that are not independent, corporate-owned locations outnumber franchise brands.

No Lafayette roofing record is waiting on chain review, so the independent, franchise and corporate counts above account for the whole list.

More roofing records first appeared in Lafayette 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 Lafayette differs from the metro enough on roofing to carry a page of its own, so every record here is answered on this page.

Among the 6 Louisiana metro areas this site publishes a roofing page for, Lafayette is 3rd of 6 by records per resident, around the middle. The field is the metro areas this site publishes a roofing page for rather than every metro area in Louisiana.

Ordered by roofing records per resident across every metro area this site publishes a roofing page for, the hubs either side of Lafayette are Yakima above it and Lansing-East Lansing below it.
