| Figure | Value | What it measures |
|---|---|---|
| Locations in Connecticut | 90 | Records the US location index holds for Vans inside Connecticut right now — a snapshot at the Q3 2026 release, not a change over time. |
| Rank among Vans's states | 21st of 51 | By location count, among the states where this brand clears the publication floor. |
| States with a published Vans page | 51 | States where the brand has at least 3 locations. Smaller states exist in the index and are not published. |
| Locations across those states | 5,266 | The sum of the state table below. Lower than the national count, which includes states under the floor. |
| Connecticut's share of that footprint | 1.7% | A share of the published states only. Both halves are the same measure, so this is not a growth rate. |
| Index opening records in Connecticut | 0 | A DIFFERENT measure from the count above: openings detected inside the tracked window, not stores standing today. |
| Cities with index opening records in Connecticut | 0 | Distinct cities after folding spelling variants. See the city table. |
Cities with index opening records recorded for Vans in Connecticut. The count beside each city is its openings — not its total Vans locations.

Context for the local figures above. None of it is a Connecticut number.
| Figure | Value | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| US locations | 5,276 | At the latest vintage, Q3 2026. |
| US locations at the window start | 5,133 | The first tracked vintage, Q4 2024. |
| Net new over the window | +143 | The difference between the two counts above. A count movement, not a count of openings. |
| Growth over the window | withheld: this brand's index coverage is still maturing — see the note under this table | Percentage change in the count between the first and latest vintages, nationwide. |
| Growth as a multiple | withheld: this brand's index coverage is still maturing — see the note under this table | The same movement stated as a multiple of the starting count. |
| Growth against its category | withheld: this brand's index coverage is still maturing — see the note under this table | The brand's percentage change minus its category's, so a rising tide is subtracted out. |
| Mean quarterly change | -44 | Average count movement per vintage step. The default ranking key on the hub. |
| Verified openings in the window | withheld: the opening records are supplier batches — see the note under this table | Individually dated location records new to the index inside the window, nationwide. |
| Openings pace, latest step | withheld: the opening records are supplier batches — see the note under this table | Verified openings per 91 days over the most recent vintage step. |
| Openings pace, prior step | withheld: the opening records are supplier batches — see the note under this table | The same measure one step earlier. |
| Direction | withheld: the opening records are supplier batches — see the note under this table | Accelerating, steady or slowing, decided on the two paces at the precision they are printed. |
| Latest pace as a share of the base | withheld: the opening records are supplier batches — see the note under this table | The latest pace over the store count at that step's start vintage. |
| Prior pace as a share of the base | withheld: the opening records are supplier batches — see the note under this table | The same measure one step earlier. |
| Reported openings pace, latest | +1.6 | The server's own pre-aggregated pace. Shown because the page ranks on the series-derived figure above and the two must agree. |
| Reported openings pace, prior | +2.0 | The same, one step earlier. |
| Largest single step's share of the change | 130% | One release carrying most of the movement is the signature of a data-coverage artifact rather than of openings. |
| Steps that moved the same direction | 14% | A real buildout moves one way most quarters. This and the row above are the credibility filter. |
| Passes the credibility filter | no | Largest step at or under half the movement, most steps in one direction, and net new above zero. |
| Cleared to print a percentage | no | Whether the index's coverage of this brand is mature enough for a rate to mean anything. |
| Openings corroborated by coverage | 4% | Share of the openings that agree with the count series over the same step. |
| Records matching the brand's own website | 99% | Share of index records whose website resolves to this domain. |
| Records sharing an address with another operator | 81% | High values mean host locations, sibling banners or shared kitchens rather than the chain's own leases. |
| Entity class | chain | Anything other than a chain is not published as a brand page in this state tier. |
| Category | Retail > Fashion Retail > Shoe Store | The index's own category path for this brand. |
| Segment | Apparel & Accessories | The published grouping the category rolls up to. |
| Match name in the index | vans | The string the location index matches records against. Rarely the display name. |
| Display name | Vans | As published. Some domains carry a read-time repair where the index's most frequent name is a department's. |
| Domain | vans.com | The key every table on this tier is joined on. |
| Tracked window | 8 vintages, Q4 2024 to Q3 2026 | How many quarterly releases this brand has been measured across. |
| Vintage stamps | 2024-11-19|2024-12-03|2025-03-06|2025-06-10|2025-09-09|2025-12-16|2026-03-18|2026-07-09 | Every release these figures were built from, oldest first, pipe-separated. It is a LIST of dates rather than one date, which is why nothing on this page prints it as a timestamp. |
