Mercer County, not Bluewell
Mercer County context, not Bluewell figures
These are Mercer County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Bluewell measurements.
- Establishments in Mercer County1,154
- Employment at those establishments, Mercer County17,231
- Covered employment, Mercer County19,314
- Average annual pay, Mercer County$50,193
- Average weekly wage, Mercer County$965
- Housing units permitted, Mercer County9
- Of those, single family, Mercer County4
- County product, 2024, Mercer County$2,336,526,000
- County product change over the prior year, Mercer County3.2 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Mercer County$38,919
Every figure in this section is published for Mercer County as a whole and is not a measurement of Bluewell. 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.
- No SBA approvals are recorded to a borrower address in this place in either FOIA release.
- 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.
