What these numbers say about plumbing in Roanoke
By record count, plumbing is the fourth largest of the 11 trades this site counts in Roanoke, behind HVAC and ahead of cleaning. That ordering is a property of the source data's categories rather than a judgement about which trade matters most in Roanoke.
Per resident, Roanoke carries more plumbing records than Virginia as a whole.
The independent share of Roanoke's plumbing records is close to the Virginia figure, so the mix of independent, franchise-brand and corporate-owned records here is ordinary for the state.
Virginia publishes no business-level licence source for plumbing that a listing can be matched against, so the licensed share for Roanoke 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 Roanoke, 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 560 workers across Roanoke, and this site publishes 63 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.
No Roanoke plumbing 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.
No Roanoke 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 Roanoke 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 Roanoke 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 4 Virginia metro areas this site publishes a plumbing page for, Roanoke carries the most records per resident. The field is the metro areas this site publishes a plumbing page for rather than every metro area in Virginia.
Ordered by plumbing records per resident across every metro area this site publishes a plumbing page for, the hubs either side of Roanoke are Santa Maria-Santa Barbara above it and Atlantic City-Hammonton below it.
