Mississippi County, not Blytheville
Mississippi County context, not Blytheville figures
These are Mississippi County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Blytheville measurements.
- Establishments in Mississippi County737
- Employment at those establishments, Mississippi County15,369
- Covered employment, Mississippi County20,139
- Average annual pay, Mississippi County$72,605
- Average weekly wage, Mississippi County$1,396
- Housing units permitted, Mississippi County66

- County product, 2024, Mississippi County$4,151,520,000
- County product change over the prior year, Mississippi County0.6 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Mississippi County$42,641
Every figure in this section is published for Mississippi County as a whole and is not a measurement of Blytheville. 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.
