What these numbers say about Reno

Other home service is Reno'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 landscaping, the next largest.

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

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

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

Every trade in Reno 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, Reno sits close to the Nevada rate, so the counts here read as ordinary for the state.

Against Nevada's own mix, Reno is heaviest in roofing: that trade takes a far larger share of this metro than of the state.

Plumbing is thinner in Reno than across Nevada, the mirror of the lean above.

Read per resident, the top of the table does not move: other home service, landscaping and flooring are Reno's three densest trades, and pest control its thinnest.

No Reno 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 Reno, 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 Reno. 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 Reno, so those rows are blank rather than filled from a neighbouring occupation.

Electrical carries Reno's largest published employment count: the occupational series counts 1,490 workers across the metro, and this site publishes 50 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 Reno records that are not independent, corporate-owned locations outnumber franchise brands and concentrate in roofing; the most franchised trade here is flooring.

Within Reno, electrical and painting are the most independently held trades and roofing the least.

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

Other home service is the Reno trade whose records most often carry no street address, and pest control the one whose records most often do. What a blank street line means is set out on the methodology page.

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

Inside Reno, the city of Reno itself and Sparks differ from the wider metro enough to carry pages of their own. Each of them carries one trade.

Reno, NV sits inside Nevada alone, so the labour market this page counts and the licensing regime that governs it are the same geography.
