Washita County, not Bessie
Washita County context, not Bessie figures
These are Washita County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Bessie measurements.
- Establishments in Washita County207
- Employment at those establishments, Washita County1,324
- Covered employment, Washita County1,932
- Average annual pay, Washita County$45,488
- Average weekly wage, Washita County$875
- Housing units permitted, Washita County3
- Of those, single family, Washita County3
- County product, 2024, Washita County$393,379,000
- County product change over the prior year, Washita County-9.1 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Washita County$42,305
Every figure in this section is published for Washita County as a whole and is not a measurement of Bessie. 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.
