What these numbers say about painting in Rochester

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

Per resident, Rochester carries more painting records than New York as a whole.

The independent share of Rochester's painting records is close to the New York figure, so the mix of independent, franchise-brand and corporate-owned records here is ordinary for the state.

Address completeness on Rochester's painting records is close to the New York figure.

New York publishes no business-level licence source for painting that a listing can be matched against, so the licensed share for Rochester is shown as not published rather than as zero, and no painting 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 painting in Rochester, so no churn figure appears on this page rather than a zero standing in for one.

No Bureau of Labor Statistics occupation maps to painting cleanly enough to print, so Rochester carries no employment or wage figure for this trade rather than one built from an occupation that means something else.

Of the Rochester painting records that are not independent, franchise brands outnumber corporate-owned locations.

No Rochester painting record is waiting on chain review, so the independent, franchise and corporate counts above account for the whole list.

More painting records first appeared in Rochester 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 Rochester differs from the metro enough on painting to carry a page of its own, so every record here is answered on this page.

Among the 8 New York metro areas this site publishes a painting page for, Rochester is 4th of 8 by records per resident, around the middle. The field is the metro areas this site publishes a painting page for rather than every metro area in New York.
