Humboldt County, not Ottosen
Humboldt County context, not Ottosen figures
These are Humboldt County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Ottosen measurements.
- Establishments in Humboldt County305
- Employment at those establishments, Humboldt County3,111
- Covered employment, Humboldt County3,810
- Average annual pay, Humboldt County$52,721
- Average weekly wage, Humboldt County$1,014
- Housing units permitted, Humboldt County5
- Of those, single family, Humboldt County5
- County product, 2024, Humboldt County$598,190,000
- County product change over the prior year, Humboldt County1.7 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Humboldt County$55,260
Every figure in this section is published for Humboldt County as a whole and is not a measurement of Ottosen. 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.
- No median gross rent is published for this place.
- 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.
