Torrance County, not Mountainair
Torrance County context, not Mountainair figures
These are Torrance County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Mountainair measurements.
- Establishments in Torrance County205
- Employment at those establishments, Torrance County2,070
- Covered employment, Torrance County3,165
- Average annual pay, Torrance County$51,439
- Average weekly wage, Torrance County$989
- County product, 2024, Torrance County$881,314,000
- County product change over the prior year, Torrance County8.0 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Torrance County$47,027
Every figure in this section is published for Torrance County as a whole and is not a measurement of Mountainair. 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.
