Somerset County, not Skowhegan
Somerset County context, not Skowhegan figures
These are Somerset County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Skowhegan measurements.
- Establishments in Somerset County1,211
- Employment at those establishments, Somerset County12,763
- Covered employment, Somerset County16,034
- Average annual pay, Somerset County$55,148
- Average weekly wage, Somerset County$1,061
- Housing units permitted, Somerset County118
- Of those, single family, Somerset County102
- County product, 2024, Somerset County$2,438,935,000
- County product change over the prior year, Somerset County3.6 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Somerset County$46,763
Every figure in this section is published for Somerset County as a whole and is not a measurement of Skowhegan. 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.
