Cullman County, not Colony
Cullman County context, not Colony figures
These are Cullman County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Colony measurements.
- Establishments in Cullman County1,867
- Employment at those establishments, Cullman County27,591
- Covered employment, Cullman County31,068
- Average annual pay, Cullman County$51,811
- Average weekly wage, Cullman County$996
- Housing units permitted, Cullman County177
- Of those, single family, Cullman County165
- County product, 2024, Cullman County$4,284,754,000
- County product change over the prior year, Cullman County5.9 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Cullman County$65,185
Every figure in this section is published for Cullman County as a whole and is not a measurement of Colony. 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.

No, and they are labelled so.

They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Colony.
Is zoning published for Colony?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
