Fallon County, not Baker
Fallon County context, not Baker figures
These are Fallon County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Baker measurements.
- Establishments in Fallon County127
- Employment at those establishments, Fallon County952
- Covered employment, Fallon County1,259
- Average annual pay, Fallon County$59,334
- Average weekly wage, Fallon County$1,141
- Housing units permitted, Fallon County0
- Of those, single family, Fallon County0
- County product, 2024, Fallon County$223,508,000
- County product change over the prior year, Fallon County-2.2 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Fallon County$43,707
Every figure in this section is published for Fallon County as a whole and is not a measurement of Baker. 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.

Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
