What these numbers say about Ogden
Other home service is Ogden'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, Ogden's four largest trades are other home service, landscaping, HVAC and flooring. Other home service alone reaches half of every record on this page.
All eleven trades carry at least one record in Ogden. The smallest of them here is pool.
Ogden's three smallest trades are pool, pest control and roofing. Between them they still hold a workable share of the metro.
Every trade in Ogden 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, Ogden sits close to the Utah rate, so the counts here read as ordinary for the state.
No trade is strongly over-represented in Ogden against Utah. Pest control leans furthest above the state mix and even that lean is slight.
Roofing is thinner in Ogden than across Utah, the mirror of the lean above.
Read per resident, the top of the table does not move: other home service, landscaping and HVAC are Ogden's three densest trades, and pest control its thinnest.
No Ogden 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 Ogden, so no churn figure appears here rather than a zero standing in for one.
A median hourly wage is published for plumbing, electrical, HVAC and roofing in Ogden. Of those, plumbing pays the most and roofing the least.
Cleaning, flooring, landscaping, other home service, painting, pest control and pool carry no wage figure for Ogden, so those rows are blank rather than filled from a neighbouring occupation.
Electrical carries Ogden's largest published employment count: the occupational series counts 1,670 workers across the metro, and this site publishes 64 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.
Ogden's franchise-brand and corporate-owned records are close to even. The franchised ones concentrate in pest control and the corporate-owned ones in pest control.
Within Ogden, landscaping and plumbing are the most independently held trades and pest control the least.
Almost none of Ogden's records are waiting on chain review, so the independent, franchise and corporate counts here describe nearly the whole metro. Electrical holds what little of that bucket the metro has.
Cleaning is the Ogden trade whose records most often carry no street address, and HVAC the one whose records most often do. What a blank street line means is set out on the methodology page.
More Ogden records first appeared over the last twelve months than were flagged closed, so the file for this metro grew. Plumbing added the largest share of new records and cleaning lost the largest share to closed flags.
