This is a small place, and the figures below carry wide margins.
The American Community Survey reaches Buena through a sample, not a count, and in a place this size that sample is thin. The population estimate here is 791 with a margin of error of plus or minus 562, which is 71.0 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.

Yakima County, not Buena
Yakima County context, not Buena figures
These are Yakima County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Buena measurements.
- Establishments in Yakima County5,010
- Employment at those establishments, Yakima County71,390
- Covered employment, Yakima County116,547
- Average annual pay, Yakima County$52,108
- Average weekly wage, Yakima County$1,002
- Housing units permitted, Yakima County515
- Of those, single family, Yakima County418
- County product, 2024, Yakima County$13,348,165,000
- County product change over the prior year, Yakima County0.9 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Yakima County$53,915
Every figure in this section is published for Yakima County as a whole and is not a measurement of Buena. 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.
