This is a small place, and the figures below carry wide margins.
The American Community Survey reaches New Castle through a sample, not a count, and in a place this size that sample is thin. The population estimate here is 138 with a margin of error of plus or minus 87, which is 63.0 percent of the estimate itself. Every figure whose margin reaches 20 percent is printed with that margin beside it, so you can see the width of each one rather than having to assume it.
Nothing has been removed or adjusted. These are the published federal estimates, shown with the uncertainty the Census publishes alongside them.

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

- Employment at those establishments, Craig County425
- Covered employment, Craig County760
- Average annual pay, Craig County$52,718
- Average weekly wage, Craig County$1,014

- County product, 2024, Craig County$151,981,000
- County product change over the prior year, Craig County6.4 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Craig County$46,946
Every figure in this section is published for Craig County as a whole and is not a measurement of New Castle. 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.
