Rabun County, not Mountain City
Rabun County context, not Mountain City figures
These are Rabun County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Mountain City measurements.
- Establishments in Rabun County535
- Employment at those establishments, Rabun County5,271
- Covered employment, Rabun County5,758
- Average annual pay, Rabun County$41,641
- Average weekly wage, Rabun County$801
- Housing units permitted, Rabun County146
- Of those, single family, Rabun County142
- County product, 2024, Rabun County$851,900,000
- County product change over the prior year, Rabun County5.8 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Rabun County$110,499
Every figure in this section is published for Rabun County as a whole and is not a measurement of Mountain City. 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.
- 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.

Is Mountain City in the National Flood Insurance Program?

They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Mountain City.

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