Luna County, not Columbus
Luna County context, not Columbus figures
These are Luna County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Columbus measurements.
- Establishments in Luna County371
- Employment at those establishments, Luna County4,845
- Covered employment, Luna County7,988
- Average annual pay, Luna County$48,771
- Average weekly wage, Luna County$938

- County product, 2024, Luna County$1,242,018,000
- County product change over the prior year, Luna County3.4 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Luna County$39,367
Every figure in this section is published for Luna County as a whole and is not a measurement of Columbus. 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.
