Nevada County, not Rough and Ready
Nevada County context, not Rough and Ready figures
These are Nevada County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Rough and Ready measurements.
- Establishments in Nevada County3,323
- Employment at those establishments, Nevada County27,771
- Covered employment, Nevada County35,000
- Average annual pay, Nevada County$62,734
- Average weekly wage, Nevada County$1,206
- Housing units permitted, Nevada County215
- Of those, single family, Nevada County215
- County product, 2024, Nevada County$6,221,340,000
- County product change over the prior year, Nevada County6.9 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Nevada County$133,259
Every figure in this section is published for Nevada County as a whole and is not a measurement of Rough and Ready. 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.
