Woodbury County, not Lawton
Woodbury County context, not Lawton figures
These are Woodbury County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Lawton measurements.
- Establishments in Woodbury County2,622
- Employment at those establishments, Woodbury County46,810
- Covered employment, Woodbury County51,281
- Average annual pay, Woodbury County$54,684
- Average weekly wage, Woodbury County$1,052
- Housing units permitted, Woodbury County172
- Of those, single family, Woodbury County76
- County product, 2024, Woodbury County$7,027,889,000
- County product change over the prior year, Woodbury County2.3 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Woodbury County$50,697
Every figure in this section is published for Woodbury County as a whole and is not a measurement of Lawton. 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.
