Wood County, not Kanawha
Wood County context, not Kanawha figures
These are Wood County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Kanawha measurements.
- Establishments in Wood County1,901
- Employment at those establishments, Wood County29,785
- Covered employment, Wood County35,511
- Average annual pay, Wood County$54,626
- Average weekly wage, Wood County$1,051
- Housing units permitted, Wood County124
- Of those, single family, Wood County91
- County product, 2024, Wood County$4,742,729,000
- County product change over the prior year, Wood County4.4 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Wood County$50,281
Every figure in this section is published for Wood County as a whole and is not a measurement of Kanawha. 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.
- No median gross rent is published for this place.
- 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.

No, and they are labelled so.

They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Kanawha.
Is zoning published for Kanawha?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
