What these numbers say about plumbing in El Paso

By record count, plumbing is the seventh largest of the 11 trades this site counts in El Paso, behind flooring and ahead of pest control. That ordering is a property of the source data's categories rather than a judgement about which trade matters most in El Paso.

Per resident, El Paso carries far fewer plumbing records than Texas as a whole.

The independent share of El Paso's plumbing records is close to the Texas figure, so the mix of independent, franchise-brand and corporate-owned records here is ordinary for the state.

Far more of El Paso's plumbing records carry no street address than across Texas. What a blank street line is and is not is set out on the methodology page.

Texas publishes no business-level licence source for plumbing that a listing can be matched against, so the licensed share for El Paso 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 El Paso, 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 640 workers across El Paso, and this site publishes 56 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 El Paso plumbing records that are not independent, franchise brands outnumber corporate-owned locations.

No El Paso 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 El Paso 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 El Paso 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 17 Texas metro areas this site publishes a plumbing page for, El Paso is 15th of 17 by records per resident, in the bottom quarter. The field is the metro areas this site publishes a plumbing page for rather than every metro area in Texas.
