Houston County, not Cowarts
Houston County context, not Cowarts figures
These are Houston County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Cowarts measurements.
- Establishments in Houston County2,859
- Employment at those establishments, Houston County44,694
- Covered employment, Houston County50,877
- Average annual pay, Houston County$53,521
- Average weekly wage, Houston County$1,029
- Housing units permitted, Houston County463
- Of those, single family, Houston County359
- County product, 2024, Houston County$8,043,315,000
- County product change over the prior year, Houston County3.4 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Houston County$49,236
Every figure in this section is published for Houston County as a whole and is not a measurement of Cowarts. 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.
