Bethel Census Area, not Chefornak
Bethel Census Area context, not Chefornak figures
These are Bethel Census Area figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Chefornak measurements.
- Establishments in Bethel Census Area215
- Employment at those establishments, Bethel Census Area2,523
- Covered employment, Bethel Census Area6,426
- Average annual pay, Bethel Census Area$54,820
- Average weekly wage, Bethel Census Area$1,054
- Housing units permitted, Bethel Census Area152
- Of those, single family, Bethel Census Area9
- County product, 2024, Bethel Census Area$837,070,000
- County product change over the prior year, Bethel Census Area2.2 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Bethel Census Area$65,288
Every figure in this section is published for Bethel Census Area as a whole and is not a measurement of Chefornak. 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.
