What these numbers say about Corpus Christi
Other home service is Corpus Christi'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, Corpus Christi'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 Corpus Christi. The smallest of them here is pool.
Corpus Christi's three smallest trades are pool, painting and flooring. Between them they still hold a workable share of the metro.
Every trade in Corpus Christi 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, Corpus Christi sits close to the Texas rate, so the counts here read as ordinary for the state.
Against Texas's own mix, Corpus Christi is heaviest in pest control: that trade takes a far larger share of this metro than of the state.
Flooring is thinner in Corpus Christi than across Texas, the mirror of the lean above.
Read per resident, the top of the table does not move: other home service, HVAC and landscaping are Corpus Christi's three densest trades, and painting its thinnest.
Of the Corpus Christi trades with a measured licensed share, electrical links to an active state licence most often and HVAC least often. That spread measures how well two files join here, not whether either row's businesses hold a licence.

Almost every Corpus Christi record sits inside the state whose licence file its share is computed from, so that share covers nearly the whole metro.
A median hourly wage is published for electrical, plumbing, HVAC and roofing in Corpus Christi. 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 Corpus Christi, so those rows are blank rather than filled from a neighbouring occupation.
Plumbing carries Corpus Christi's largest published employment count: the occupational series counts 1,160 workers across the metro, and this site publishes 57 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. Electrical, HVAC and roofing follow it.
