Crawford County, not Alma
Crawford County context, not Alma figures
These are Crawford County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Alma measurements.
- Establishments in Crawford County1,130
- Employment at those establishments, Crawford County15,230
- Covered employment, Crawford County19,290
- Average annual pay, Crawford County$48,778
- Average weekly wage, Crawford County$938
- Housing units permitted, Crawford County46
- Of those, single family, Crawford County35
- County product, 2024, Crawford County$2,328,337,000
- County product change over the prior year, Crawford County4.3 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Crawford County$49,182
Every figure in this section is published for Crawford County as a whole and is not a measurement of Alma. 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.
- 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.
