What these numbers say about Lubbock

Other home service is Lubbock'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, Lubbock'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 Lubbock. The smallest of them here is pool.

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

Every trade in Lubbock 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, Lubbock sits close to the Texas rate, so the counts here read as ordinary for the state.

Electrical takes a larger share of Lubbock than of Texas, which is the clearest way this metro's mix departs from its state's.

Flooring is thinner in Lubbock than across Texas, the mirror of the lean above.

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

Of the Lubbock 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.

No licence issuance or lapse figure is published for Lubbock, so no churn figure appears here rather than a zero standing in for one.

Almost every Lubbock 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 HVAC, plumbing, electrical and roofing in Lubbock. Of those, HVAC pays the most and roofing the least.

Cleaning, flooring, landscaping, other home service, painting, pest control and pool carry no wage figure for Lubbock, so those rows are blank rather than filled from a neighbouring occupation.

Electrical carries Lubbock's largest published employment count: the occupational series counts 690 workers across the metro, and this site publishes 48 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 Lubbock records that are not independent, corporate-owned locations outnumber franchise brands and concentrate in pest control; the most franchised trade here is painting.

Within Lubbock, plumbing and landscaping are the most independently held trades and painting the least.

Almost none of Lubbock'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 Lubbock trade whose records most often carry no street address, and plumbing the one whose records most often do. What a blank street line means is set out on the methodology page.
