Irion County, not Mertzon
Irion County context, not Mertzon figures
These are Irion County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Mertzon measurements.
- Establishments in Irion County64
- Employment at those establishments, Irion County583
- Covered employment, Irion County788
- Average annual pay, Irion County$97,418
- Average weekly wage, Irion County$1,873

- County product change over the prior year, Irion County-12.9 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Irion County$57,316
Every figure in this section is published for Irion County as a whole and is not a measurement of Mertzon. 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.
- 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.

Is zoning published for Mertzon?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
