Williams County, not Ray
Williams County context, not Ray figures
These are Williams County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Ray measurements.
- Establishments in Williams County1,652
- Employment at those establishments, Williams County21,785
- Covered employment, Williams County27,125
- Average annual pay, Williams County$91,464
- Average weekly wage, Williams County$1,759
- Housing units permitted, Williams County90
- Of those, single family, Williams County88
- County product, 2024, Williams County$7,472,626,000
- County product change over the prior year, Williams County2.7 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Williams County$57,280
Every figure in this section is published for Williams County as a whole and is not a measurement of Ray. 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.
