What these numbers say about painting in Wilmington
By record count, painting is the ninth largest of the 11 trades this site counts in Wilmington, behind plumbing and ahead of pest control. 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 sits close to the North Carolina rate for painting, so the count at the top of this page reads as ordinary for the state.
The independent share of Wilmington's painting 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 more of Wilmington's painting records carry no street address than across North Carolina. What a blank street line is and is not is set out on the methodology page.
North Carolina publishes no business-level licence source for painting that a listing can be matched against, so the licensed share for Wilmington is shown as not published rather than as zero, and no painting 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 painting 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 painting 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 painting records that are not independent, franchise brands outnumber corporate-owned locations.
Almost none of Wilmington's painting records are waiting on chain review, so the independent, franchise and corporate counts above describe nearly the whole list.
More painting 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 painting 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 painting page for, Wilmington is 4th of 9 by records per resident, around the middle. The field is the metro areas this site publishes a painting page for rather than every metro area in North Carolina.
Ordered by painting records per resident across every metro area this site publishes a painting page for, the hubs either side of Wilmington are Appleton above it and Milwaukee-Waukesha below it.
