Buffalo County, not Amherst
Buffalo County context, not Amherst figures
These are Buffalo County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Amherst measurements.
- Establishments in Buffalo County1,777
- Employment at those establishments, Buffalo County23,423
- Covered employment, Buffalo County28,148
- Average annual pay, Buffalo County$51,993
- Average weekly wage, Buffalo County$1,000
- Housing units permitted, Buffalo County127
- Of those, single family, Buffalo County119
- County product, 2024, Buffalo County$4,460,701,000
- County product change over the prior year, Buffalo County2.6 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Buffalo County$51,756
Every figure in this section is published for Buffalo County as a whole and is not a measurement of Amherst. 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.
