Citrus County, not Crystal River
Citrus County context, not Crystal River figures
These are Citrus County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Crystal River measurements.
- Establishments in Citrus County3,063
- Employment at those establishments, Citrus County31,162
- Covered employment, Citrus County34,702
- Average annual pay, Citrus County$48,953
- Average weekly wage, Citrus County$941
- Housing units permitted, Citrus County2,443
- Of those, single family, Citrus County2,415
- County product, 2024, Citrus County$6,980,610,000
- County product change over the prior year, Citrus County2.9 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Citrus County$70,447
Every figure in this section is published for Citrus County as a whole and is not a measurement of Crystal River. 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.

These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Crystal River, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Crystal River borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Crystal River. only 4 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 Crystal River in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Crystal River appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 120340, carrying Community Rating System class 7, which is a premium discount for exceeding the programme minimum. 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 Crystal River figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Citrus 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 Crystal River.
Is zoning published for Crystal River?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
