Grand County, not Moab
Grand County context, not Moab figures
These are Grand County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Moab measurements.
- Establishments in Grand County564
- Employment at those establishments, Grand County5,274
- Covered employment, Grand County6,934
- Average annual pay, Grand County$47,058
- Average weekly wage, Grand County$905
- Housing units permitted, Grand County238
- Of those, single family, Grand County120
- County product, 2024, Grand County$938,917,000
- County product change over the prior year, Grand County1.2 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Grand County$59,636
Every figure in this section is published for Grand County as a whole and is not a measurement of Moab. 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.
- 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.

How much SBA lending goes to Moab businesses?
28 7(a) approvals totalling $26.5 m, across 11 lenders, median approval $475,000, plus 14 504 approvals worth $14.6 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Moab, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Moab borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Moab. only 8 resolved loans, too few to publish a rate, and a percentage over that few outcomes would move several points on a single loan. The counts are shown instead.
Are the county figures on this page Moab figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Grand County as a whole and there is no place level equivalent. They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Moab.
Is zoning published for Moab?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
