Chugach Census Area, not Whittier
Chugach Census Area context, not Whittier figures
These are Chugach 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 Whittier measurements.
- Establishments in Chugach Census Area379
- Employment at those establishments, Chugach Census Area2,076
- Covered employment, Chugach Census Area3,593
- Average annual pay, Chugach Census Area$74,978
- Average weekly wage, Chugach Census Area$1,442
- Housing units permitted, Chugach Census Area25
- Of those, single family, Chugach Census Area18
- County product, 2024, Chugach Census Area$1,472,506,000
- County product change over the prior year, Chugach Census Area-10.3 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Chugach Census Area$64,573
Every figure in this section is published for Chugach Census Area as a whole and is not a measurement of Whittier. 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.
