Utah County, not Highland
Utah County context, not Highland figures
These are Utah County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Highland measurements.
- Establishments in Utah County17,568
- Employment at those establishments, Utah County274,566
- Covered employment, Utah County295,152
- Average annual pay, Utah County$62,648
- Average weekly wage, Utah County$1,205
- Housing units permitted, Utah County6,321
- Of those, single family, Utah County5,174
- County product, 2024, Utah County$47,943,081,000
- County product change over the prior year, Utah County9.3 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Utah County$88,791
Every figure in this section is published for Utah County as a whole and is not a measurement of Highland. 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 Highland businesses?
29 7(a) approvals totalling $12.1 m, across 18 lenders, median approval $200,000, plus 9 504 approvals worth $9.1 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Highland, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Highland borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Highland. only 5 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 Highland figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Utah 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 Highland.
Is zoning published for Highland?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
