Cocke County, not Cosby
Cocke County context, not Cosby figures
These are Cocke County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Cosby measurements.
- Establishments in Cocke County474
- Employment at those establishments, Cocke County5,871
- Covered employment, Cocke County7,903
- Average annual pay, Cocke County$45,422
- Average weekly wage, Cocke County$873
- Housing units permitted, Cocke County13
- Of those, single family, Cocke County1
- County product, 2024, Cocke County$1,210,295,000
- County product change over the prior year, Cocke County11.7 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Cocke County$47,989
Every figure in this section is published for Cocke County as a whole and is not a measurement of Cosby. 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.
- No median owner-occupied home value is published for this place.
- 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.
