Morrison County, not Motley
Morrison County context, not Motley figures
These are Morrison County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Motley measurements.
- Establishments in Morrison County933
- Employment at those establishments, Morrison County8,532
- Covered employment, Morrison County11,175
- Average annual pay, Morrison County$47,270
- Average weekly wage, Morrison County$909
- Housing units permitted, Morrison County199
- Of those, single family, Morrison County120
- County product, 2024, Morrison County$1,500,674,000
- County product change over the prior year, Morrison County2.0 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Morrison County$60,647
Every figure in this section is published for Morrison County as a whole and is not a measurement of Motley. 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.
