Lawrence County, not Central City
Lawrence County context, not Central City figures
These are Lawrence County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Central City measurements.
- Establishments in Lawrence County1,248
- Employment at those establishments, Lawrence County11,109
- Covered employment, Lawrence County13,566
- Average annual pay, Lawrence County$50,201
- Average weekly wage, Lawrence County$965
- Housing units permitted, Lawrence County219
- Of those, single family, Lawrence County203
- County product, 2024, Lawrence County$1,847,820,000
- County product change over the prior year, Lawrence County2.8 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Lawrence County$106,709
Every figure in this section is published for Lawrence County as a whole and is not a measurement of Central City. 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.
- No SBA approvals are recorded to a borrower address in this place in either FOIA release.
- This place is not listed as a community in the FEMA Community Status Book, so no NFIP participation or CRS class is shown.
- No median gross rent is published for this place.
- 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.
