Jones County, not Olin
Jones County context, not Olin figures
These are Jones County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Olin measurements.
- Establishments in Jones County514
- Employment at those establishments, Jones County4,620
- Covered employment, Jones County6,253
- Average annual pay, Jones County$50,095
- Average weekly wage, Jones County$963
- Housing units permitted, Jones County20
- Of those, single family, Jones County18
- County product, 2024, Jones County$858,258,000
- County product change over the prior year, Jones County-1.3 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Jones County$60,662
Every figure in this section is published for Jones County as a whole and is not a measurement of Olin. 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.
