Blaine County, not Watonga
Blaine County context, not Watonga figures
These are Blaine County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Watonga measurements.
- Establishments in Blaine County227
- Employment at those establishments, Blaine County2,548
- Covered employment, Blaine County2,973
- Average annual pay, Blaine County$50,359
- Average weekly wage, Blaine County$968
- Housing units permitted, Blaine County1
- Of those, single family, Blaine County1
- County product, 2024, Blaine County$1,385,448,000
- County product change over the prior year, Blaine County-26.8 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Blaine County$48,516
Every figure in this section is published for Blaine County as a whole and is not a measurement of Watonga. 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.
