Jay County, not Portland
Jay County context, not Portland figures
These are Jay County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Portland measurements.
- Establishments in Jay County411
- Employment at those establishments, Jay County6,301
- Covered employment, Jay County7,027
- Average annual pay, Jay County$48,103
- Average weekly wage, Jay County$925
- Housing units permitted, Jay County19
- Of those, single family, Jay County19
- County product, 2024, Jay County$1,546,086,000
- County product change over the prior year, Jay County13.1 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Jay County$40,653
Every figure in this section is published for Jay County as a whole and is not a measurement of Portland. 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.
