Fayette County, not Fayetteville
Fayette County context, not Fayetteville figures
These are Fayette County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Fayetteville measurements.
- Establishments in Fayette County710
- Employment at those establishments, Fayette County7,593
- Covered employment, Fayette County10,265
- Average annual pay, Fayette County$47,615
- Average weekly wage, Fayette County$916

- County product, 2024, Fayette County$1,577,557,000
- County product change over the prior year, Fayette County6.8 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Fayette County$42,216
Every figure in this section is published for Fayette County as a whole and is not a measurement of Fayetteville. 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.
