Caroline County, not Preston
Caroline County context, not Preston figures
These are Caroline County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Preston measurements.
- Establishments in Caroline County634
- Employment at those establishments, Caroline County6,996
- Covered employment, Caroline County9,246
- Average annual pay, Caroline County$53,786
- Average weekly wage, Caroline County$1,034
- Housing units permitted, Caroline County55

- County product, 2024, Caroline County$1,589,731,000
- County product change over the prior year, Caroline County6.7 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Caroline County$55,423
Every figure in this section is published for Caroline County as a whole and is not a measurement of Preston. 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.
