These are counts of establishments physically operating in the county, not listings, so they are the supply side a feasibility study measures demand against. County Business Patterns counts private establishments with paid employees in March 2023, while the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages above counts every unemployment-insured employer, public ones included, as a 2024 annual average, so the two establishment and employment counts differ.

Cities and places in Crawford.
3 Census places lie wholly or partly in Crawford County. 2 carry enough published place level data for a page of their own and are linked. The rest are named here and not linked, because the American Community Survey and the SBA record between them do not carry enough about them to write an honest page. A place existing is itself worth knowing, so nothing in the county is left out.
| Place | Type | Population | SBA 7(a) approvals, projects in this county | Lies in |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Roberta | city | 1,257 | 2 | Wholly in this county |
| Knoxville | CDP | 36 | None recorded | Wholly in this county |
| Musella | CDP | 0 | None recorded | Wholly in this county |
A further 1 of the county's 3 SBA 7(a) approvals are to borrowers in cities that match no Census place in Crawford County, the largest being Lizella (1). Those are postal cities, unincorporated areas and cities outside the county, so no place row claims them; they are counted in the county total above.
