Kern County, not Fairfax
Kern County context, not Fairfax figures
These are Kern County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Fairfax measurements.
- Establishments in Kern County14,352
- Employment at those establishments, Kern County219,016
- Covered employment, Kern County347,664
- Average annual pay, Kern County$60,066
- Average weekly wage, Kern County$1,155
- Housing units permitted, Kern County3,244
- Of those, single family, Kern County2,812
- County product, 2024, Kern County$63,069,657,000
- County product change over the prior year, Kern County4.8 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Kern County$54,556
Every figure in this section is published for Kern County as a whole and is not a measurement of Fairfax. 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 figures are shown. withheld: California has 2 places named Fairfax and the tape records none of their loans in Kern County.
- 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.

Is Fairfax in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Fairfax appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 060175, carrying Community Rating System class 9, which is a premium discount for exceeding the programme minimum. Whether a specific parcel sits in a mapped special flood hazard area is an address level question the platform answers.
Are the county figures on this page Fairfax figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Kern County as a whole and there is no place level equivalent. They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Fairfax.
Is zoning published for Fairfax?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
