What these numbers say about Toledo

Other home service is Toledo'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, Toledo's four largest trades are other home service, landscaping, HVAC and plumbing. Other home service alone reaches half of every record on this page.

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

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

Every trade in Toledo 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, Toledo carries fewer home-service records than Ohio as a whole, across all eleven trades summed together.

Painting takes a larger share of Toledo than of Ohio, which is the clearest way this metro's mix departs from its state's.

Even Toledo's thinnest trade against Ohio, cleaning, sits close to the state share.

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

No Toledo 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 Toledo, so no churn figure appears here rather than a zero standing in for one.

A median hourly wage is published for electrical, plumbing, HVAC and roofing in Toledo. Of those, electrical pays the most and roofing the least.

Cleaning, flooring, landscaping, other home service, painting, pest control and pool carry no wage figure for Toledo, so those rows are blank rather than filled from a neighbouring occupation.

Electrical carries Toledo's largest published employment count: the occupational series counts 1,660 workers across the metro, and this site publishes 75 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.

Toledo's franchise-brand and corporate-owned records are close to even. The franchised ones concentrate in pest control and the corporate-owned ones in other home service.

Within Toledo, roofing and painting are the most independently held trades and pest control the least.

Almost none of Toledo'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.

Roofing is the Toledo trade whose records most often carry no street address, and plumbing the one whose records most often do. What a blank street line means is set out on the methodology page.
