What these numbers say about Binghamton
Other home service is Binghamton'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, Binghamton's four largest trades are other home service, landscaping, HVAC and electrical. Other home service alone reaches half of every record on this page.
All eleven trades carry at least one record in Binghamton. The smallest of them here is pool.
Binghamton's three smallest trades are pool, pest control and roofing. Between them they still hold a workable share of the metro.
One Binghamton trade, pool, falls below the record floor a trade page has to clear, so it is answered on this page instead. Its count in the table is unchanged.
Per resident, Binghamton sits close to the New York rate, so the counts here read as ordinary for the state.
Painting takes a larger share of Binghamton than of New York, which is the clearest way this metro's mix departs from its state's.
Plumbing is thinner in Binghamton than across New York, the mirror of the lean above.
Read per resident, the top of the table does not move: other home service, landscaping and HVAC are Binghamton's three densest trades, and roofing its thinnest.
No Binghamton 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 Binghamton, 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 Binghamton. 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 Binghamton, so those rows are blank rather than filled from a neighbouring occupation.
Electrical carries Binghamton's largest published employment count: the occupational series counts 390 workers across the metro, and this site publishes 38 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. HVAC, plumbing and roofing follow it.
Binghamton's franchise-brand and corporate-owned records are close to even. The franchised ones concentrate in pest control and the corporate-owned ones in pest control.
Within Binghamton, electrical and landscaping are the most independently held trades and other home service the least.
Almost none of Binghamton's records are waiting on chain review, so the independent, franchise and corporate counts here describe nearly the whole metro. HVAC holds what little of that bucket the metro has.
Landscaping is the Binghamton trade whose records most often carry no street address, and roofing the one whose records most often do. What a blank street line means is set out on the methodology page.
More Binghamton 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 them, and no record here was flagged closed in that window.

Binghamton, NY sits inside New York alone, so the labour market this page counts and the licensing regime that governs it are the same geography.
