Montgomery County, not Star
Montgomery County context, not Star figures
These are Montgomery County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Star measurements.
- Establishments in Montgomery County503
- Employment at those establishments, Montgomery County7,600
- Covered employment, Montgomery County8,933
- Average annual pay, Montgomery County$48,929
- Average weekly wage, Montgomery County$941
- Housing units permitted, Montgomery County138
- Of those, single family, Montgomery County138
- County product, 2024, Montgomery County$1,469,595,000
- County product change over the prior year, Montgomery County3.7 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Montgomery County$68,281
Every figure in this section is published for Montgomery County as a whole and is not a measurement of Star. 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.
