Chaves County, not Dexter
Chaves County context, not Dexter figures
These are Chaves County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Dexter measurements.
- Establishments in Chaves County1,342
- Employment at those establishments, Chaves County16,093
- Covered employment, Chaves County21,658
- Average annual pay, Chaves County$47,769
- Average weekly wage, Chaves County$919
- Housing units permitted, Chaves County88
- Of those, single family, Chaves County88
- County product, 2024, Chaves County$2,865,638,000
- County product change over the prior year, Chaves County7.2 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Chaves County$48,740
Every figure in this section is published for Chaves County as a whole and is not a measurement of Dexter. 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.
