About this data
- Browardly listings: businesses collected from their own websites and public records. Businesses based here, with an unconfirmed address here, and serving the city from elsewhere are counted separately. Not every business in Oakland Park.
- Licensed contractors: businesses with an active Florida contractor license, each counted once, whose license record lists Oakland Park. The city on a license record is a mailing address and can differ from the city limits. Shares describe license records, not demand, supply or quality. Dentists and attorneys are not compared: there is no comparable public count for them yet. A license date is not an opening date.
- Registered legal entities: Florida registry (Sunbiz) records with a principal address placed in Oakland Park. A registration is not a business opening.
- None of these figures is a rating, a quality ranking or a measure of the city's economy, and paid plans change none of them.
