Jasper County, not Newton
Jasper County context, not Newton figures
These are Jasper County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Newton measurements.
- Establishments in Jasper County767
- Employment at those establishments, Jasper County7,469
- Covered employment, Jasper County10,453
- Average annual pay, Jasper County$49,910
- Average weekly wage, Jasper County$960
- Housing units permitted, Jasper County15

- County product, 2024, Jasper County$1,522,980,000
- County product change over the prior year, Jasper County1.7 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Jasper County$54,400
Every figure in this section is published for Jasper County as a whole and is not a measurement of Newton. 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.
