What these numbers say about painting in Columbia
By record count, painting is the tenth largest of the 11 trades this site counts in Columbia, behind pest control and ahead of pool. That ordering is a property of the source data's categories rather than a judgement about which trade matters most in Columbia.
Per resident, Columbia sits close to the South Carolina rate for painting, so the count at the top of this page reads as ordinary for the state.
The independent share of Columbia's painting records is close to the South Carolina figure, so the mix of independent, franchise-brand and corporate-owned records here is ordinary for the state.
Far more of Columbia's painting records carry no street address than across South Carolina. What a blank street line is and is not is set out on the methodology page.
South Carolina publishes no business-level licence source for painting that a listing can be matched against, so the licensed share for Columbia 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 Columbia, 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 Columbia carries no employment or wage figure for this trade rather than one built from an occupation that means something else.
Of the Columbia painting records that are not independent, corporate-owned locations outnumber franchise brands.
No Columbia painting record is waiting on chain review, so the independent, franchise and corporate counts above account for the whole list.
No painting record in Columbia first appeared or was flagged closed over the last twelve months, so this page carries no twelve-month movement for this trade and metro.
No city inside Columbia 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 5 South Carolina metro areas this site publishes a painting page for, Columbia is 3rd of 5 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 South Carolina.
Ordered by painting records per resident across every metro area this site publishes a painting page for, the hubs either side of Columbia are Tulsa above it and Spartanburg below it.
