Upshur County, not Ore City
Upshur County context, not Ore City figures
These are Upshur County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Ore City measurements.

- Employment at those establishments, Upshur County5,986
- Covered employment, Upshur County7,753
- Average annual pay, Upshur County$48,879

- County product change over the prior year, Upshur County2.0 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Upshur County$56,093
Every figure in this section is published for Upshur County as a whole and is not a measurement of Ore 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.
- 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 Ore City borrowers get paid back?

Is Ore City in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Ore City appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 481038, 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 Ore City.
Is zoning published for Ore City?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
