Modoc County, not Alturas
Modoc County context, not Alturas figures
These are Modoc County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Alturas measurements.

- Employment at those establishments, Modoc County1,258
- Covered employment, Modoc County2,768
- Average annual pay, Modoc County$50,973
- Average weekly wage, Modoc County$980

- County product, 2024, Modoc County$687,654,000
- County product change over the prior year, Modoc County4.2 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Modoc County$38,497
Every figure in this section is published for Modoc County as a whole and is not a measurement of Alturas. 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.
- 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 Alturas businesses?
7 7(a) approvals totalling $6.8 m, across 6 lenders, median approval $685,000. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Alturas, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Alturas borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Alturas. only 3 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.
Is Alturas in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Alturas appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 060193, with no Community Rating System class, so no CRS discount applies. 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 Alturas figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Modoc 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 Alturas.
Is zoning published for Alturas?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
