Butte County, not South Oroville
Butte County context, not South Oroville figures
These are Butte County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as South Oroville measurements.
- Establishments in Butte County4,677
- Employment at those establishments, Butte County63,158
- Covered employment, Butte County78,999
- Average annual pay, Butte County$57,521
- Average weekly wage, Butte County$1,106
- Housing units permitted, Butte County946
- Of those, single family, Butte County657
- County product, 2024, Butte County$12,901,012,000
- County product change over the prior year, Butte County8.7 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Butte County$58,195
Every figure in this section is published for Butte County as a whole and is not a measurement of South Oroville. 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.
