What these numbers say about plumbing in Duluth

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

Per resident, Duluth sits close to the Minnesota rate for plumbing, so the count at the top of this page reads as ordinary for the state.

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

Far more of Duluth's plumbing records carry no street address than across Minnesota. What a blank street line is and is not is set out on the methodology page.

Minnesota publishes no business-level licence source for plumbing that a listing can be matched against, so the licensed share for Duluth 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 Duluth, 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 420 workers across Duluth, and this site publishes 60 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 Duluth plumbing records that are not independent, franchise brands outnumber corporate-owned locations.

Almost none of Duluth's plumbing records are waiting on chain review, so the independent, franchise and corporate counts above describe nearly the whole list.

More plumbing records first appeared in Duluth 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.
