Randolph County, not Wadley
Randolph County context, not Wadley figures
These are Randolph County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Wadley measurements.
- Establishments in Randolph County364
- Employment at those establishments, Randolph County3,865
- Covered employment, Randolph County4,883
- Average annual pay, Randolph County$43,183
- Average weekly wage, Randolph County$830

- County product, 2024, Randolph County$690,235,000
- County product change over the prior year, Randolph County5.0 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Randolph County$60,153
Every figure in this section is published for Randolph County as a whole and is not a measurement of Wadley. 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.
- 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.
