{"meta":{"title":"ProFix Contractor Surety-Bond Coverage","description":"Of the contractors a state licensing board confirms are ACTIVE, the share that also carry a surety bond on file — the 'bonded' leg of the licensed/bonded/insured triad. Computed live from the four boards that publish a real bond field in their public bulk roster (CA CSLB, WA L&I, OR CCB, MN DLI). This is a coverage rate across those boards' active rosters, NOT a national bonding rate.","source":"State contractor licensing boards that publish a surety-bond field in their public bulk roster: California CSLB, Washington L&I, Oregon CCB, Minnesota DLI.","methodology":"For each covered board, bondedPct = active licenses showing a current bond on file ÷ active licenses that carry a readable bond boolean. The denominator is ACTIVE licenses only (a bond attaches to a live license); rows with no bond field are 'unknown', never counted as not-bonded. A board whose bond field is present on under 25% of its active roster (fieldCoveragePct) is flagged sparseField and reported as directional only. Active status uses the same normalizer as the verified-license badge, so 'active' means the same thing here as elsewhere on the site.","unit":"percent of active licenses carrying a bond field","sparseFieldFloorPct":25,"aggregateOnly":true,"perContractorAttribution":false,"sourcePage":"https://profixdirectory.com/research/contractor-bonding-coverage-2026","feedUrl":"https://profixdirectory.com/api/open-data/bond-coverage.json","relatedFeed":"https://profixdirectory.com/api/open-data/license-coverage.json","asOf":"2026-06-15","usage":"Free to use with attribution to ProFix Directory (https://profixdirectory.com).","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"ProFix Directory","cite":"ProFix Directory, \"Contractor Surety-Bond Coverage\" (bonded share of active licenses, by state board), as of 2026-06-15. https://profixdirectory.com/research/contractor-bonding-coverage-2026","contactEmail":"press@profixdirectory.com","warranty":"No warranty.
