What these numbers say about roofing in Akron

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

Per resident, Akron carries more roofing records than Ohio as a whole.

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

Ohio publishes no business-level licence source for roofing that a listing can be matched against, so the licensed share for Akron is shown as not published rather than as zero, and no roofing 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 roofing in Akron, 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 370 workers across Akron, and this site publishes 193 roofing 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 Akron roofing records that are not independent, corporate-owned locations outnumber franchise brands.

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

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

Among the 8 Ohio metro areas this site publishes a roofing page for, Akron is 3rd of 8 by records per resident, around the middle. The field is the metro areas this site publishes a roofing page for rather than every metro area in Ohio.

Ordered by roofing records per resident across every metro area this site publishes a roofing page for, the hubs either side of Akron are Canton-Massillon above it and Oklahoma City below it.
