Alexander County, not Bethlehem
Alexander County context, not Bethlehem figures
These are Alexander County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Bethlehem measurements.
- Establishments in Alexander County598
- Employment at those establishments, Alexander County8,199
- Covered employment, Alexander County8,510
- Average annual pay, Alexander County$46,164
- Average weekly wage, Alexander County$888
- Housing units permitted, Alexander County113
- Of those, single family, Alexander County113
- County product, 2024, Alexander County$1,196,497,000
- County product change over the prior year, Alexander County5.2 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Alexander County$54,223
Every figure in this section is published for Alexander County as a whole and is not a measurement of Bethlehem. 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.
- No SBA approvals are recorded to a borrower address in this place in either FOIA release.
- 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.
