What these numbers say about Chattanooga

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

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

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

Every trade in Chattanooga 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, Chattanooga carries more home-service records than Tennessee as a whole, across all eleven trades summed together.

Cleaning takes a larger share of Chattanooga than of Tennessee, which is the clearest way this metro's mix departs from its state's.

Even Chattanooga's thinnest trade against Tennessee, plumbing, sits close to the state share.

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

No Chattanooga 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 Chattanooga, 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 Chattanooga. 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 Chattanooga, so those rows are blank rather than filled from a neighbouring occupation.

Electrical carries Chattanooga's largest published employment count: the occupational series counts 1,760 workers across the metro, and this site publishes 102 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 Chattanooga records that are not independent, corporate-owned locations outnumber franchise brands and concentrate in pest control; the most franchised trade here is plumbing.

Within Chattanooga, landscaping and electrical are the most independently held trades and pest control the least.

Almost none of Chattanooga'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.

Cleaning is the Chattanooga 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 Chattanooga 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 landscaping lost the largest share to closed flags.

Inside this metro area, the city of Chattanooga itself differs from the wider metro enough to carry pages of its own.

Chattanooga, TN-GA crosses a state line, so this metro area sits in more than one licensing regime at once. Every count above is the whole metro; every licence figure beneath it is computed inside one state.

Ordered by population, the metro areas either side of Chattanooga on this site are Fayetteville-Springdale-Rogers above it and Scranton--Wilkes-Barre below it. Those are the metros closest to it in population.

Ordered by records per resident rather than population, Chattanooga's neighbours are Gulfport-Biloxi and Denver-Aurora-Centennial. A metro can sit high on one of these orderings and low on the other.
