Kitsap County, not Port Orchard
Kitsap County context, not Port Orchard figures
These are Kitsap County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Port Orchard measurements.
- Establishments in Kitsap County6,272
- Employment at those establishments, Kitsap County63,168
- Covered employment, Kitsap County93,571
- Average annual pay, Kitsap County$71,579
- Average weekly wage, Kitsap County$1,377
- Housing units permitted, Kitsap County1,294
- Of those, single family, Kitsap County976
- County product, 2024, Kitsap County$18,349,039,000
- County product change over the prior year, Kitsap County6.9 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Kitsap County$98,310
Every figure in this section is published for Kitsap County as a whole and is not a measurement of Port Orchard. 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.
