Fountain County, not Covington
Fountain County context, not Covington figures
These are Fountain County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Covington measurements.
- Establishments in Fountain County332
- Employment at those establishments, Fountain County4,384
- Covered employment, Fountain County4,952
- Average annual pay, Fountain County$46,309
- Average weekly wage, Fountain County$891
- Housing units permitted, Fountain County19
- Of those, single family, Fountain County14
- County product, 2024, Fountain County$637,537,000
- County product change over the prior year, Fountain County-5.4 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Fountain County$52,113
Every figure in this section is published for Fountain County as a whole and is not a measurement of Covington. 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.
