What these numbers say about cleaning in Wilmington

By record count, cleaning is the fourth largest of the 11 trades this site counts in Wilmington, behind HVAC 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 Wilmington.

Per resident, Wilmington carries more cleaning records than North Carolina as a whole.

The independent share of Wilmington's cleaning records is close to the North Carolina figure, so the mix of independent, franchise-brand and corporate-owned records here is ordinary for the state.

Far fewer of Wilmington's cleaning records are missing a street address than across North Carolina.

North Carolina publishes no business-level licence source for cleaning that a listing can be matched against, so the licensed share for Wilmington is shown as not published rather than as zero, and no cleaning 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 cleaning in Wilmington, so no churn figure appears on this page rather than a zero standing in for one.

No Bureau of Labor Statistics occupation maps to cleaning cleanly enough to print, so Wilmington carries no employment or wage figure for this trade rather than one built from an occupation that means something else.

Of the Wilmington cleaning records that are not independent, franchise brands outnumber corporate-owned locations.

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

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

Among the 9 North Carolina metro areas this site publishes a cleaning page for, Wilmington carries the most records per resident. The field is the metro areas this site publishes a cleaning page for rather than every metro area in North Carolina.
