Broadwater County, not Townsend
Broadwater County context, not Townsend figures
These are Broadwater County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Townsend measurements.
- Establishments in Broadwater County207
- Employment at those establishments, Broadwater County1,114
- Covered employment, Broadwater County1,490
- Average annual pay, Broadwater County$45,076
- Average weekly wage, Broadwater County$867
- Housing units permitted, Broadwater County11
- Of those, single family, Broadwater County11
- County product, 2024, Broadwater County$306,505,000
- County product change over the prior year, Broadwater County7.2 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Broadwater County$81,730
Every figure in this section is published for Broadwater County as a whole and is not a measurement of Townsend. 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.
