Washington County, not Abingdon
Washington County context, not Abingdon figures
These are Washington County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Abingdon measurements.
- Establishments in Washington County1,207
- Employment at those establishments, Washington County18,465
- Covered employment, Washington County20,425
- Average annual pay, Washington County$48,472
- Average weekly wage, Washington County$932
- Housing units permitted, Washington County106
- Of those, single family, Washington County104
- Average income of an arriving household, Washington County$65,517
Every figure in this section is published for Washington County as a whole and is not a measurement of Abingdon. 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.

Is zoning published for Abingdon?
