Alger County, not Chatham
Alger County context, not Chatham figures
These are Alger County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Chatham measurements.
- Establishments in Alger County220
- Employment at those establishments, Alger County1,733
- Covered employment, Alger County2,650
- Average annual pay, Alger County$49,474
- Average weekly wage, Alger County$951
- Housing units permitted, Alger County33
- Of those, single family, Alger County33
- County product, 2024, Alger County$331,727,000
- County product change over the prior year, Alger County3.7 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Alger County$68,927
Every figure in this section is published for Alger County as a whole and is not a measurement of Chatham. 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.
- 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.

Is Chatham in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Chatham appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 260343, with no Community Rating System class, so no CRS discount applies. Whether a specific parcel sits in a mapped special flood hazard area is an address level question the platform answers.
Are the county figures on this page Chatham figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Alger County as a whole and there is no place level equivalent. They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Chatham.
Is zoning published for Chatham?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
