Mercer County, not Mercer
Mercer County context, not Mercer figures
These are Mercer County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Mercer measurements.
- Establishments in Mercer County79
- Employment at those establishments, Mercer County384
- Covered employment, Mercer County814
- Average annual pay, Mercer County$44,042
- Average weekly wage, Mercer County$847
- Housing units permitted, Mercer County0
- Of those, single family, Mercer County0
- County product, 2024, Mercer County$136,598,000
- County product change over the prior year, Mercer County-2.7 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Mercer County$37,461
Every figure in this section is published for Mercer County as a whole and is not a measurement of Mercer. 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.
