Preston County, not Kingwood
Preston County context, not Kingwood figures
These are Preston County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Kingwood measurements.
- Establishments in Preston County509
- Employment at those establishments, Preston County5,012
- Covered employment, Preston County7,208
- Average annual pay, Preston County$55,402
- Average weekly wage, Preston County$1,065
- Housing units permitted, Preston County1
- Of those, single family, Preston County1
- County product, 2024, Preston County$1,012,032,000
- County product change over the prior year, Preston County6.0 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Preston County$55,925
Every figure in this section is published for Preston County as a whole and is not a measurement of Kingwood. 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.
