What these numbers say about electrical in Waco

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

Per resident, Waco carries fewer electrical records than Texas as a whole.

The independent share of Waco's electrical 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 Waco's electrical records carry no street address than across Texas. What a blank street line is and is not is set out on the methodology page.

A larger share of Waco's electrical records link to an active state licence than the Texas figure for the same trade. That measures how well two files join here.

Almost every Waco electrical record sits inside Texas, the state the licensed share is computed inside, so that share covers nearly the whole metro.

No licence issuance or lapse figure is published for electrical in Waco, so no churn figure appears on this page rather than a zero standing in for one.

More active Texas licences covering electrical in Waco have no matching record in open place data than this page lists records at all, and none of those licences appear in the list below.

The occupational series the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes for this trade counts 650 workers across Waco, and this site publishes 25 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.

No Waco electrical record is classified as a franchise brand or a corporate-owned location, so the chain split here is independent records and records still in review.

Part of Waco's electrical records are still waiting on chain review, which is what a name that meets the chain threshold and has not been classified yet is called. While that is true the franchise-to-corporate ratio here is incomplete and is not published as a ratio, and none of those records is described as independent.

More electrical records first appeared in Waco 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 Waco differs from the metro enough on electrical 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 electrical page for, Waco is 13th of 17 by records per resident, around the middle. The field is the metro areas this site publishes a electrical page for rather than every metro area in Texas.

Ordered by electrical records per resident across every metro area this site publishes a electrical page for, the hubs either side of Waco are Bakersfield-Delano above it and Tucson below it.
