Miami County, not Paola
Miami County context, not Paola figures
These are Miami County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Paola measurements.
- Establishments in Miami County777
- Employment at those establishments, Miami County6,927
- Covered employment, Miami County9,085
- Average annual pay, Miami County$53,616
- Average weekly wage, Miami County$1,031
- Housing units permitted, Miami County118
- Of those, single family, Miami County118
- County product, 2024, Miami County$1,433,088,000
- County product change over the prior year, Miami County7.7 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Miami County$76,796
Every figure in this section is published for Miami County as a whole and is not a measurement of Paola. 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.
