What these numbers say about plumbing in Columbia
By record count, plumbing is the seventh largest of the 11 trades this site counts in Columbia, behind cleaning and ahead of roofing. 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 carries fewer plumbing records than South Carolina as a whole.
The independent share of Columbia's plumbing 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 plumbing 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 plumbing that a listing can be matched against, so the licensed share for Columbia 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 Columbia, 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 1,060 workers across Columbia, and this site publishes 110 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 Columbia plumbing records that are not independent, franchise brands outnumber corporate-owned locations.
No Columbia 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 Columbia 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 Columbia 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 5 South Carolina metro areas this site publishes a plumbing page for, Columbia carries the fewest records per resident. The field is the metro areas this site publishes a plumbing page for rather than every metro area in South Carolina.
Ordered by plumbing records per resident across every metro area this site publishes a plumbing page for, the hubs either side of Columbia are Ann Arbor above it and Lubbock below it.
