What these numbers say about roofing in Roanoke

By record count, roofing is the ninth largest of the 11 trades this site counts in Roanoke, behind electrical 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 Roanoke.

Per resident, Roanoke carries more roofing records than Virginia as a whole.

The independent share of Roanoke's roofing 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 roofing that a listing can be matched against, so the licensed share for Roanoke is shown as not published rather than as zero, and no roofing 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 roofing 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 90 workers across Roanoke, and this site publishes 42 roofing 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 Roanoke roofing records that are not independent, 0 are franchise brands and 1 are corporate-owned locations. The two are given as counts and not compared, because records here are still waiting on chain review.

Part of Roanoke's roofing 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 roofing 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.
