Salt Lake County, not Riverton
Salt Lake County context, not Riverton figures
These are Salt Lake County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Riverton measurements.
- Establishments in Salt Lake County35,732
- Employment at those establishments, Salt Lake County693,721
- Covered employment, Salt Lake County796,203
- Average annual pay, Salt Lake County$77,495
- Average weekly wage, Salt Lake County$1,490
- Housing units permitted, Salt Lake County4,550

- Average income of an arriving household, Salt Lake County$74,026
Every figure in this section is published for Salt Lake County as a whole and is not a measurement of Riverton. 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.
Common questions

These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Riverton, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Riverton borrowers get paid back?
Of the 25 loans that have reached a final outcome, 20 were paid in full and 5 charged off, a charge off rate of 20.0 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Are the county figures on this page Riverton figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Salt Lake 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 Riverton.
Is zoning published for Riverton?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
