What these numbers say about plumbing in Erie
By record count, plumbing is the fifth largest of the 11 trades this site counts in Erie, behind roofing and ahead of electrical. That ordering is a property of the source data's categories rather than a judgement about which trade matters most in Erie.
Per resident, Erie sits close to the Pennsylvania rate for plumbing, so the count at the top of this page reads as ordinary for the state.
The independent share of Erie's plumbing records is close to the Pennsylvania figure, so the mix of independent, franchise-brand and corporate-owned records here is ordinary for the state.
Far more of Erie's plumbing records carry no street address than across Pennsylvania. What a blank street line is and is not is set out on the methodology page.
Pennsylvania publishes no business-level licence source for plumbing that a listing can be matched against, so the licensed share for Erie is shown as not published rather than as zero, and no plumbing 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 plumbing in Erie, 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 280 workers across Erie, and this site publishes 48 plumbing 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 Erie plumbing records that are not independent, franchise brands outnumber corporate-owned locations.
No Erie plumbing record is waiting on chain review, so the independent, franchise and corporate counts above account for the whole list.
More plumbing records first appeared in Erie 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 Erie differs from the metro enough on plumbing to carry a page of its own, so every record here is answered on this page.
Among the 9 Pennsylvania metro areas this site publishes a plumbing page for, Erie is 4th of 9 by records per resident, around the middle. The field is the metro areas this site publishes a plumbing page for rather than every metro area in Pennsylvania.
Ordered by plumbing records per resident across every metro area this site publishes a plumbing page for, the hubs either side of Erie are Boise City above it and Lexington-Fayette below it.
