Nome Census Area, not Shishmaref
Nome Census Area context, not Shishmaref figures
These are Nome 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 Shishmaref measurements.
- Establishments in Nome Census Area174
- Employment at those establishments, Nome Census Area2,167
- Covered employment, Nome Census Area3,893
- Average annual pay, Nome Census Area$75,229
- Average weekly wage, Nome Census Area$1,447
- Housing units permitted, Nome Census Area3
- Of those, single family, Nome Census Area3
- County product, 2024, Nome Census Area$603,156,000
- County product change over the prior year, Nome Census Area7.5 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Nome Census Area$53,347
Every figure in this section is published for Nome Census Area as a whole and is not a measurement of Shishmaref. 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.
