Lonoke County, not Ward
Lonoke County context, not Ward figures
These are Lonoke County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Ward measurements.
- Establishments in Lonoke County1,175
- Employment at those establishments, Lonoke County12,365
- Covered employment, Lonoke County15,597
- Average annual pay, Lonoke County$43,054
- Average weekly wage, Lonoke County$828
- Housing units permitted, Lonoke County193
- Of those, single family, Lonoke County175
- County product, 2024, Lonoke County$2,115,770,000
- County product change over the prior year, Lonoke County3.8 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Lonoke County$52,346
Every figure in this section is published for Lonoke County as a whole and is not a measurement of Ward. 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.

Are the county figures on this page Ward figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Lonoke County as a whole and there is no place level equivalent. They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Ward.
Is zoning published for Ward?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
