Oconee County, not Watkinsville
Oconee County context, not Watkinsville figures
These are Oconee County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Watkinsville measurements.
- Establishments in Oconee County1,458
- Employment at those establishments, Oconee County16,843
- Covered employment, Oconee County16,112
- Average annual pay, Oconee County$51,898
- Average weekly wage, Oconee County$998
- Housing units permitted, Oconee County334
- Of those, single family, Oconee County334
- County product, 2024, Oconee County$2,564,458,000
- County product change over the prior year, Oconee County11.5 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Oconee County$148,093
Every figure in this section is published for Oconee County as a whole and is not a measurement of Watkinsville. 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 Watkinsville, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Watkinsville borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Watkinsville. only 3 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 Watkinsville in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Watkinsville appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 130369, with no Community Rating System class, so no CRS discount applies. 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 Watkinsville figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Oconee 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 Watkinsville.
Is zoning published for Watkinsville?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
