Union County, not La Grande
Union County context, not La Grande figures
These are Union County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as La Grande measurements.
- Establishments in Union County740
- Employment at those establishments, Union County7,702
- Covered employment, Union County10,486
- Average annual pay, Union County$52,345
- Average weekly wage, Union County$1,007
- Housing units permitted, Union County38
- Of those, single family, Union County36
- County product, 2024, Union County$1,339,653,000
- County product change over the prior year, Union County1.7 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Union County$53,353
Every figure in this section is published for Union County as a whole and is not a measurement of La Grande. 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.

No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Union 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 La Grande.
Is zoning published for La Grande?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
