Rockingham County, not Dayton
Rockingham County context, not Dayton figures
These are Rockingham County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Dayton measurements.
- Establishments in Rockingham County1,648
- Employment at those establishments, Rockingham County29,517
- Covered employment, Rockingham County35,104
- Average annual pay, Rockingham County$57,264
- Average weekly wage, Rockingham County$1,101
- Housing units permitted, Rockingham County683
- Of those, single family, Rockingham County613
- Average income of an arriving household, Rockingham County$64,084
Every figure in this section is published for Rockingham County as a whole and is not a measurement of Dayton. 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.
