Manatee County, not Cortez
Manatee County context, not Cortez figures
These are Manatee County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Cortez measurements.
- Establishments in Manatee County11,176
- Employment at those establishments, Manatee County121,840
- Covered employment, Manatee County143,894
- Average annual pay, Manatee County$60,844
- Average weekly wage, Manatee County$1,170
- Housing units permitted, Manatee County7,472
- Of those, single family, Manatee County5,630
- County product, 2024, Manatee County$26,347,982,000
- County product change over the prior year, Manatee County7.3 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Manatee County$131,103
Every figure in this section is published for Manatee County as a whole and is not a measurement of Cortez. 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.
- No SBA approvals are recorded to a borrower address in this place in either FOIA release.
- 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.

Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
