Fauquier County, not Opal
Fauquier County context, not Opal figures
These are Fauquier County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Opal measurements.
- Establishments in Fauquier County2,015
- Employment at those establishments, Fauquier County20,078
- Covered employment, Fauquier County23,810
- Average annual pay, Fauquier County$65,376
- Average weekly wage, Fauquier County$1,257
- Housing units permitted, Fauquier County286
- Of those, single family, Fauquier County286
- County product, 2024, Fauquier County$4,154,090,000
- County product change over the prior year, Fauquier County8.9 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Fauquier County$104,678
Every figure in this section is published for Fauquier County as a whole and is not a measurement of Opal. 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.
- No median gross rent is published for this place.
- 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.

No, and they are labelled so.

They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Opal.
Is zoning published for Opal?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
