Fulton County, not Salem
Fulton County context, not Salem figures
These are Fulton County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Salem measurements.
- Establishments in Fulton County165
- Employment at those establishments, Fulton County1,388
- Covered employment, Fulton County1,775
- Average annual pay, Fulton County$41,242
- Average weekly wage, Fulton County$793
- Housing units permitted, Fulton County0
- Of those, single family, Fulton County0
- County product, 2024, Fulton County$237,243,000
- County product change over the prior year, Fulton County2.5 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Fulton County$50,340
Every figure in this section is published for Fulton County as a whole and is not a measurement of Salem. 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.
