San Juan County, not La Plata
San Juan County context, not La Plata figures
These are San Juan County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as La Plata measurements.
- Establishments in San Juan County2,475
- Employment at those establishments, San Juan County35,168
- Covered employment, San Juan County46,650
- Average annual pay, San Juan County$56,008
- Average weekly wage, San Juan County$1,077
- Housing units permitted, San Juan County78
- Of those, single family, San Juan County70
- County product, 2024, San Juan County$7,042,616,000
- County product change over the prior year, San Juan County1.2 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, San Juan County$43,458
Every figure in this section is published for San Juan County as a whole and is not a measurement of La Plata. 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.
