Buena Vista County, not Newell
Buena Vista County context, not Newell figures
These are Buena Vista County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Newell measurements.
- Establishments in Buena Vista County491
- Employment at those establishments, Buena Vista County8,855
- Covered employment, Buena Vista County10,683
- Average annual pay, Buena Vista County$53,893
- Average weekly wage, Buena Vista County$1,036
- Housing units permitted, Buena Vista County172

- County product change over the prior year, Buena Vista County8.2 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Buena Vista County$45,361
Every figure in this section is published for Buena Vista County as a whole and is not a measurement of Newell. 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.
- 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.
