Johnson County, not Mountain City
Johnson County context, not Mountain City figures
These are Johnson County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Mountain City measurements.
- Establishments in Johnson County256
- Employment at those establishments, Johnson County3,415
- Covered employment, Johnson County4,274
- Average annual pay, Johnson County$53,592
- Average weekly wage, Johnson County$1,031
- Housing units permitted, Johnson County6
- Of those, single family, Johnson County6
- County product, 2024, Johnson County$596,001,000
- County product change over the prior year, Johnson County3.7 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Johnson County$98,213
Every figure in this section is published for Johnson County as a whole and is not a measurement of Mountain 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.
- 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.
