Cattaraugus County, not Gowanda
Cattaraugus County context, not Gowanda figures

- Covered employment, Cattaraugus County27,671

Every figure in this section is published for Cattaraugus County as a whole and is not a measurement of Gowanda. 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.
- 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.
