Malheur County, not Vale
Malheur County context, not Vale figures
These are Malheur County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Vale measurements.
- Establishments in Malheur County718
- Employment at those establishments, Malheur County8,527
- Covered employment, Malheur County13,488
- Average annual pay, Malheur County$48,708
- Average weekly wage, Malheur County$937
- Housing units permitted, Malheur County45
- Of those, single family, Malheur County45
- County product, 2024, Malheur County$1,552,941,000
- County product change over the prior year, Malheur County1.6 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Malheur County$43,824
Every figure in this section is published for Malheur County as a whole and is not a measurement of Vale. 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.
