Harney County, not Burns
Harney County context, not Burns figures
These are Harney County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Burns measurements.
- Establishments in Harney County214
- Employment at those establishments, Harney County1,576
- Covered employment, Harney County2,560
- Average annual pay, Harney County$51,173
- Average weekly wage, Harney County$984
- Housing units permitted, Harney County22
- Of those, single family, Harney County22
- County product, 2024, Harney County$495,753,000
- County product change over the prior year, Harney County10.8 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Harney County$58,739
Every figure in this section is published for Harney County as a whole and is not a measurement of Burns. 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.

Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
