Houston County, not Brownsville
Houston County context, not Brownsville figures
These are Houston County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Brownsville measurements.
- Establishments in Houston County394
- Employment at those establishments, Houston County4,309
- Covered employment, Houston County5,031
- Average annual pay, Houston County$47,489
- Average weekly wage, Houston County$913
- Housing units permitted, Houston County44
- Of those, single family, Houston County34
- County product, 2024, Houston County$810,300,000
- County product change over the prior year, Houston County7.6 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Houston County$58,280
Every figure in this section is published for Houston County as a whole and is not a measurement of Brownsville. 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.
