What these numbers say about Tulsa
Other home service is Tulsa'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 HVAC, the next largest.
In order, Tulsa's four largest trades are other home service, HVAC, landscaping and roofing. Other home service alone reaches half of every record on this page.
All eleven trades carry at least one record in Tulsa. The smallest of them here is pool.
Tulsa's three smallest trades are pool, pest control and painting. Between them they still hold a workable share of the metro.
Every trade in Tulsa 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, Tulsa carries more home-service records than Oklahoma as a whole, across all eleven trades summed together.
Landscaping takes a larger share of Tulsa than of Oklahoma, which is the clearest way this metro's mix departs from its state's.
Pest control is thinner in Tulsa than across Oklahoma, the mirror of the lean above.
Read per resident, the top of the table does not move: other home service, HVAC and landscaping are Tulsa's three densest trades, and pool its thinnest.
No Tulsa 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 Tulsa, 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 Tulsa. 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 Tulsa, so those rows are blank rather than filled from a neighbouring occupation.
Electrical carries Tulsa's largest published employment count: the occupational series counts 2,750 workers across the metro, and this site publishes 142 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.
Of the Tulsa records that are not independent, corporate-owned locations outnumber franchise brands and concentrate in pest control; the most franchised trade here is flooring.
Within Tulsa, electrical and plumbing are the most independently held trades and pest control the least.
Almost none of Tulsa's records are waiting on chain review, so the independent, franchise and corporate counts here describe nearly the whole metro. Pool holds what little of that bucket the metro has.
Cleaning is the Tulsa 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 Tulsa records first appeared over the last twelve months than were flagged closed, so the file for this metro grew. Cleaning added the largest share of new records and other home service lost the largest share to closed flags.
