Lawrence County, not Aurora
Lawrence County context, not Aurora figures
These are Lawrence County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Aurora measurements.
- Establishments in Lawrence County689
- Employment at those establishments, Lawrence County6,385
- Covered employment, Lawrence County8,920
- Average annual pay, Lawrence County$47,246
- Average weekly wage, Lawrence County$909
- Housing units permitted, Lawrence County79
- Of those, single family, Lawrence County34
- County product, 2024, Lawrence County$1,343,017,000
- County product change over the prior year, Lawrence County9.4 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Lawrence County$46,991
Every figure in this section is published for Lawrence County as a whole and is not a measurement of Aurora. 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.

How much SBA lending goes to Aurora businesses?
21 7(a) approvals totalling $5.5 m, across 7 lenders, median approval $50,000, plus 4 504 approvals worth $2.8 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Aurora, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Aurora borrowers get paid back?

Are the county figures on this page Aurora figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Lawrence 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 Aurora.
Is zoning published for Aurora?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
