Nicholas County, not Craigsville
Nicholas County context, not Craigsville figures
These are Nicholas County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Craigsville measurements.
- Establishments in Nicholas County541
- Employment at those establishments, Nicholas County5,911
- Covered employment, Nicholas County7,321
- Average annual pay, Nicholas County$50,930
- Average weekly wage, Nicholas County$979
- Housing units permitted, Nicholas County2
- Of those, single family, Nicholas County2
- County product, 2024, Nicholas County$883,179,000
- County product change over the prior year, Nicholas County0.3 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Nicholas County$41,247
Every figure in this section is published for Nicholas County as a whole and is not a measurement of Craigsville. 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.
