Hart County, not Horse Cave
Hart County context, not Horse Cave figures
These are Hart County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Horse Cave measurements.
- Establishments in Hart County276
- Employment at those establishments, Hart County4,073
- Covered employment, Hart County5,269
- Average annual pay, Hart County$52,189
- Average weekly wage, Hart County$1,004

- Average income of an arriving household, Hart County$40,471
Every figure in this section is published for Hart County as a whole and is not a measurement of Horse Cave. 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.
- 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.
