Kern County, not Lamont
Kern County context, not Lamont 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 Lamont 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 Lamont. 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.

How much SBA lending goes to Lamont businesses?
11 7(a) approvals totalling $4.6 m, across 5 lenders, median approval $325,000. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Lamont, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Lamont borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Lamont. only 2 resolved loans, too few to publish a rate, and a percentage over that few outcomes would move several points on a single loan. The counts are shown instead.
Are the county figures on this page Lamont 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 Lamont.
Is zoning published for Lamont?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
