Houston County, not Gordon
Houston County context, not Gordon 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 Gordon 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 Gordon. 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.
- The American Community Survey does not publish a median household income for this place, which happens where the sample is too small to support one.
- 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.
Common questions
Gordon questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Gordon, Alabama?
323, in 150 households. Gordon town covers 2.92 square miles of land, which is 111 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Gordon in?
Houston County, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.
Are the county figures on this page Gordon figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Houston County as a whole and there is no place level equivalent. They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Gordon.
Is zoning published for Gordon?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
