Mason County, not Mason
Mason County context, not Mason figures
These are Mason County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Mason measurements.
- Establishments in Mason County155
- Employment at those establishments, Mason County790
- Covered employment, Mason County1,157
- Average annual pay, Mason County$45,962
- Average weekly wage, Mason County$884
- Housing units permitted, Mason County14
- Of those, single family, Mason County14
- County product, 2024, Mason County$155,595,000
- County product change over the prior year, Mason County-5.2 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Mason County$169,312
Every figure in this section is published for Mason County as a whole and is not a measurement of Mason. 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.

Do SBA loans to Mason borrowers get paid back?

Is Mason in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Mason appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 480467, with no Community Rating System class, so no CRS discount applies. Whether a specific parcel sits in a mapped special flood hazard area is an address level question the platform answers.

No, and they are labelled so.

They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Mason.
Is zoning published for Mason?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
