What these numbers say about Albuquerque

Other home service is Albuquerque's largest trade, and more than half of every record this site holds here sits in it. It holds more than three times as many records as HVAC, the next largest.

In order, Albuquerque's four largest trades are other home service, HVAC, landscaping and electrical. Other home service alone reaches half of every record on this page.

All eleven trades carry at least one record in Albuquerque. The smallest of them here is pool.

Albuquerque's three smallest trades are pool, painting and pest control. Between them they still hold a workable share of the metro.

Every trade in Albuquerque clears the record floor a trade page has to meet, so each has a page of its own. That is a statement about how thick this metro's thinnest trade is.

Per resident, Albuquerque sits close to the New Mexico rate, so the counts here read as ordinary for the state.

Cleaning takes a larger share of Albuquerque than of New Mexico, which is the clearest way this metro's mix departs from its state's.

Even Albuquerque's thinnest trade against New Mexico, electrical, sits close to the state share.

Read per resident, the top of the table does not move: other home service, HVAC and landscaping are Albuquerque's three densest trades, and pool its thinnest.

No Albuquerque trade carries a measured licensed share, so every row of that column reads as not published rather than as zero.

No licence issuance or lapse figure is published for Albuquerque, so no churn figure appears here rather than a zero standing in for one.

A median hourly wage is published for plumbing, electrical, HVAC and roofing in Albuquerque. Of those, plumbing pays the most and roofing the least.

Cleaning, flooring, landscaping, other home service, painting, pest control and pool carry no wage figure for Albuquerque, so those rows are blank rather than filled from a neighbouring occupation.

Electrical carries Albuquerque's largest published employment count: the occupational series counts 2,440 workers across the metro, and this site publishes 172 electrical 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. Plumbing, HVAC and roofing follow it.

Of the Albuquerque records that are not independent, corporate-owned locations outnumber franchise brands and concentrate in other home service; the most franchised trade here is pest control.

Within Albuquerque, pool and HVAC are the most independently held trades and other home service the least.

Almost none of Albuquerque's records are waiting on chain review, so the independent, franchise and corporate counts here describe nearly the whole metro. Painting holds what little of that bucket the metro has.

Roofing is the Albuquerque trade whose records most often carry no street address, and pool the one whose records most often do. What a blank street line means is set out on the methodology page.

More Albuquerque records first appeared over the last twelve months than were flagged closed, so the file for this metro grew. Cleaning added the largest share of new records and pool lost the largest share to closed flags.

One city inside Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, differs from the wider metro enough to carry pages of its own.

Albuquerque, NM sits inside New Mexico alone, so the labour market this page counts and the licensing regime that governs it are the same geography.

Ordered by population, the metro areas either side of Albuquerque on this site are Knoxville above it and Bakersfield-Delano below it. Those are the metros closest to it in population.

Ordered by records per resident rather than population, Albuquerque's neighbours are Birmingham and Oklahoma City. A metro can sit high on one of these orderings and low on the other.
