Jefferson County, not Fayette
Jefferson County context, not Fayette figures
These are Jefferson County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Fayette measurements.
- Establishments in Jefferson County54
- Employment at those establishments, Jefferson County547
- Covered employment, Jefferson County953
- Average annual pay, Jefferson County$43,225
- Average weekly wage, Jefferson County$831
- Housing units permitted, Jefferson County0
- Of those, single family, Jefferson County0
- County product, 2024, Jefferson County$141,397,000
- County product change over the prior year, Jefferson County12.1 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Jefferson County$33,020
Every figure in this section is published for Jefferson County as a whole and is not a measurement of Fayette. 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.
- 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.
