Alleghany County, not Iron Gate
Alleghany County context, not Iron Gate figures
These are Alleghany County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Iron Gate measurements.
- Establishments in Alleghany County241
- Employment at those establishments, Alleghany County2,492
- Covered employment, Alleghany County3,293
- Average annual pay, Alleghany County$45,643
- Average weekly wage, Alleghany County$878
- Housing units permitted, Alleghany County13
- Of those, single family, Alleghany County13
- Average income of an arriving household, Alleghany County$47,804
Every figure in this section is published for Alleghany County as a whole and is not a measurement of Iron Gate. 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.
- No SBA approvals are recorded to a borrower address in this place in either FOIA release.
- 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.
