Greene County, not Paragould
Greene County context, not Paragould figures
These are Greene County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Paragould measurements.
- Establishments in Greene County842
- Employment at those establishments, Greene County14,019
- Covered employment, Greene County15,663
- Average annual pay, Greene County$47,490
- Average weekly wage, Greene County$913
- Housing units permitted, Greene County265

- County product, 2024, Greene County$2,021,448,000
- County product change over the prior year, Greene County1.6 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Greene County$41,325
Every figure in this section is published for Greene County as a whole and is not a measurement of Paragould. 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.
