Power County, not American Falls
Power County context, not American Falls figures
These are Power County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as American Falls measurements.
- Establishments in Power County177
- Employment at those establishments, Power County2,197
- Covered employment, Power County4,005
- Average annual pay, Power County$55,894
- Average weekly wage, Power County$1,075
- Housing units permitted, Power County1
- Of those, single family, Power County1
- County product, 2024, Power County$560,665,000
- County product change over the prior year, Power County-17.0 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Power County$57,491
Every figure in this section is published for Power County as a whole and is not a measurement of American Falls. 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.
- 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.
