Eagle County, not Basalt
Eagle County context, not Basalt figures
These are Eagle County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Basalt measurements.
- Establishments in Eagle County3,664
- Employment at those establishments, Eagle County36,282
- Covered employment, Eagle County35,441
- Average annual pay, Eagle County$65,248
- Average weekly wage, Eagle County$1,255
- Housing units permitted, Eagle County416
- Of those, single family, Eagle County142
- County product, 2024, Eagle County$6,935,486,000
- County product change over the prior year, Eagle County6.9 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Eagle County$168,270
Every figure in this section is published for Eagle County as a whole and is not a measurement of Basalt. 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.

These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Basalt, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Basalt borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Basalt. only 6 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 Basalt figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Eagle 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 Basalt.
Is zoning published for Basalt?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
