Guthrie County, not Panora
Guthrie County context, not Panora figures
These are Guthrie County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Panora measurements.
- Establishments in Guthrie County313
- Employment at those establishments, Guthrie County2,392
- Covered employment, Guthrie County3,271
- Average annual pay, Guthrie County$54,155
- Average weekly wage, Guthrie County$1,041
- Housing units permitted, Guthrie County26
- Of those, single family, Guthrie County24
- County product, 2024, Guthrie County$752,540,000
- County product change over the prior year, Guthrie County11.1 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Guthrie County$71,220
Every figure in this section is published for Guthrie County as a whole and is not a measurement of Panora. 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.

Do SBA loans to Panora borrowers get paid back?

Are the county figures on this page Panora figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Guthrie County as a whole and there is no place level equivalent. They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Panora.
Is zoning published for Panora?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
