What these numbers say about plumbing in Fargo
By record count, plumbing is the eighth largest of the 10 trades this site counts in Fargo, behind painting and ahead of roofing. That ordering is a property of the source data's categories rather than a judgement about which trade matters most in Fargo.
Per resident, Fargo sits close to the North Dakota rate for plumbing, so the count at the top of this page reads as ordinary for the state.
The independent share of Fargo's plumbing records is close to the North Dakota figure, so the mix of independent, franchise-brand and corporate-owned records here is ordinary for the state.
North Dakota publishes no business-level licence source for plumbing that a listing can be matched against, so the licensed share for Fargo 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 Fargo, 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 670 workers across Fargo, and this site publishes 41 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 Fargo plumbing records that are not independent, franchise brands outnumber corporate-owned locations.
No Fargo plumbing record is waiting on chain review, so the independent, franchise and corporate counts above account for the whole list.
More plumbing records first appeared in Fargo 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 Fargo differs from the metro enough on plumbing to carry a page of its own, so every record here is answered on this page.
Fargo is the only North Dakota metro area this site publishes a plumbing page for, so there is no second North Dakota hub of this trade to rank it against.
Ordered by plumbing records per resident across every metro area this site publishes a plumbing page for, the hubs either side of Fargo are New Orleans-Metairie above it and Charlotte-Concord-Gastonia below it.
