What these numbers say about plumbing in Wilmington
By record count, plumbing is the eighth largest of the 11 trades this site counts in Wilmington, behind roofing and ahead of painting. 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 plumbing, so the count at the top of this page reads as ordinary for the state.
The independent share of Wilmington's plumbing 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 plumbing 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 plumbing that a listing can be matched against, so the licensed share for Wilmington 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 Wilmington, 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 690 workers across Wilmington, and this site publishes 84 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 Wilmington plumbing records that are not independent, franchise brands outnumber corporate-owned locations.
Almost none of Wilmington'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 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 plumbing 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 plumbing page for, Wilmington is 5th of 9 by records per resident, around the middle. The field is the metro areas this site publishes a plumbing page for rather than every metro area in North Carolina.
Ordered by plumbing records per resident across every metro area this site publishes a plumbing page for, the hubs either side of Wilmington are San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad above it and Beaumont-Port Arthur below it.
