Cochise County, not Tombstone
Cochise County context, not Tombstone figures
These are Cochise County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Tombstone measurements.
- Establishments in Cochise County2,189
- Employment at those establishments, Cochise County26,077
- Covered employment, Cochise County34,954
- Average annual pay, Cochise County$59,877
- Average weekly wage, Cochise County$1,151
- Housing units permitted, Cochise County441
- Of those, single family, Cochise County435
- County product, 2024, Cochise County$6,576,220,000
- County product change over the prior year, Cochise County5.6 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Cochise County$57,228
Every figure in this section is published for Cochise County as a whole and is not a measurement of Tombstone. 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.
- 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.
