Oxford County, not South Paris
Oxford County context, not South Paris figures
These are Oxford County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as South Paris measurements.

- Employment at those establishments, Oxford County14,143
- Covered employment, Oxford County17,009
- Average annual pay, Oxford County$50,809
- Average weekly wage, Oxford County$977
- Housing units permitted, Oxford County372

- County product, 2024, Oxford County$2,576,674,000
- County product change over the prior year, Oxford County3.2 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Oxford County$87,012
Every figure in this section is published for Oxford County as a whole and is not a measurement of South Paris. 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.
