Ouray County, not Ouray
Ouray County context, not Ouray figures
These are Ouray County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Ouray measurements.
- Establishments in Ouray County321
- Employment at those establishments, Ouray County1,626
- Covered employment, Ouray County2,214
- Average annual pay, Ouray County$50,140
- Average weekly wage, Ouray County$964
- Housing units permitted, Ouray County96

- County product change over the prior year, Ouray County4.5 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Ouray County$140,523
Every figure in this section is published for Ouray County as a whole and is not a measurement of Ouray. 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.
