Wallowa County, not Joseph
Wallowa County context, not Joseph figures
These are Wallowa County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Joseph measurements.
- Establishments in Wallowa County366
- Employment at those establishments, Wallowa County1,995
- Covered employment, Wallowa County2,854
- Average annual pay, Wallowa County$52,648
- Average weekly wage, Wallowa County$1,012
- Housing units permitted, Wallowa County31
- Of those, single family, Wallowa County31
- County product, 2024, Wallowa County$626,564,000
- County product change over the prior year, Wallowa County20.6 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Wallowa County$76,561
Every figure in this section is published for Wallowa County as a whole and is not a measurement of Joseph. 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.
