Mineral County, not Keyser
Mineral County context, not Keyser figures
These are Mineral County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Keyser measurements.
- Establishments in Mineral County456
- Employment at those establishments, Mineral County6,849
- Covered employment, Mineral County8,694
- Average annual pay, Mineral County$54,612
- Average weekly wage, Mineral County$1,050
- Housing units permitted, Mineral County64
- Of those, single family, Mineral County56
- County product, 2024, Mineral County$1,072,905,000
- County product change over the prior year, Mineral County6.5 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Mineral County$57,534
Every figure in this section is published for Mineral County as a whole and is not a measurement of Keyser. 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.
