What these numbers say about plumbing in Reno

By record count, plumbing is the sixth largest of the 11 trades this site counts in Reno, behind cleaning and ahead of electrical. That ordering is a property of the source data's categories rather than a judgement about which trade matters most in Reno.

Per resident, Reno carries fewer plumbing records than Nevada as a whole.

The independent share of Reno's plumbing records is close to the Nevada figure, so the mix of independent, franchise-brand and corporate-owned records here is ordinary for the state.

Far more of Reno's plumbing records carry no street address than across Nevada. What a blank street line is and is not is set out on the methodology page.

Nevada publishes no business-level licence source for plumbing that a listing can be matched against, so the licensed share for Reno 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 Reno, 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 1,170 workers across Reno, and this site publishes 51 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 Reno plumbing records that are not independent, franchise brands outnumber corporate-owned locations.

No Reno 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 Reno 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.
