Kennebec County, not Augusta
Kennebec County context, not Augusta figures
These are Kennebec County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Augusta measurements.
- Establishments in Kennebec County3,318
- Employment at those establishments, Kennebec County49,617
- Covered employment, Kennebec County62,487
- Average annual pay, Kennebec County$60,846
- Average weekly wage, Kennebec County$1,170
- Housing units permitted, Kennebec County480
- Of those, single family, Kennebec County447
- County product, 2024, Kennebec County$8,569,210,000
- County product change over the prior year, Kennebec County7.8 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Kennebec County$58,367
Every figure in this section is published for Kennebec County as a whole and is not a measurement of Augusta. 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.
