Colbert County, not Cherokee
Colbert County context, not Cherokee figures
These are Colbert County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Cherokee measurements.
- Establishments in Colbert County1,268
- Employment at those establishments, Colbert County23,237
- Covered employment, Colbert County24,495
- Average annual pay, Colbert County$58,010
- Average weekly wage, Colbert County$1,116
- Housing units permitted, Colbert County94
- Of those, single family, Colbert County94
- County product, 2024, Colbert County$3,558,557,000
- County product change over the prior year, Colbert County2.3 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Colbert County$82,622
Every figure in this section is published for Colbert County as a whole and is not a measurement of Cherokee. It is here because a county backdrop is what a credit committee reads a place against, and it is labelled so that it can never be quoted as the place's own.

Coverage
What this page does not hold.
Every item below could be filled with a plausible figure. None of them is. On a page a lender may read, a number that cannot be traced is worse than an absence, so the absences are named.
- No SBA approvals are recorded to a borrower address in this place in either FOIA release.
- This place is not listed as a community in the FEMA Community Status Book, so no NFIP participation or CRS class is shown.
- Parcel level detail, zoning and flood zone at an address are resolved in the platform, not on this page.
SBA figures count approvals to borrowers whose address is in the place. They are not approvals for projects inside the place boundary: the tape records a borrower city and a project county, and those can differ.
