Clackamas County, not Damascus
Clackamas County context, not Damascus figures
These are Clackamas County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Damascus measurements.
- Establishments in Clackamas County12,862
- Employment at those establishments, Clackamas County158,159
- Covered employment, Clackamas County174,320
- Average annual pay, Clackamas County$69,863
- Average weekly wage, Clackamas County$1,344
- Housing units permitted, Clackamas County1,140

- Average income of an arriving household, Clackamas County$106,715
Every figure in this section is published for Clackamas County as a whole and is not a measurement of Damascus. 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.

These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Damascus, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Damascus borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Damascus. only 2 resolved loans, too few to publish a rate, and a percentage over that few outcomes would move several points on a single loan. The counts are shown instead.
Are the county figures on this page Damascus figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Clackamas County as a whole and there is no place level equivalent. They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Damascus.
Is zoning published for Damascus?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
