This is a small place, and the figures below carry wide margins.
The American Community Survey reaches Houston through a sample, not a count, and in a place this size that sample is thin. The population estimate here is 299 with a margin of error of plus or minus 172, which is 57.5 percent of the estimate itself. Every figure whose margin reaches 20 percent is printed with that margin beside it, so you can see the width of each one rather than having to assume it.
Nothing has been removed or adjusted. These are the published federal estimates, shown with the uncertainty the Census publishes alongside them.

Perry County, not Houston
Perry County context, not Houston figures
These are Perry County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Houston measurements.
- Establishments in Perry County115
- Employment at those establishments, Perry County678
- Covered employment, Perry County1,038
- Average annual pay, Perry County$42,605
- Average weekly wage, Perry County$819
- Housing units permitted, Perry County3
- Of those, single family, Perry County3
- County product, 2024, Perry County$265,746,000
- County product change over the prior year, Perry County16.0 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Perry County$44,230
Every figure in this section is published for Perry County as a whole and is not a measurement of Houston. 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.
- 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 Houston.
Is zoning published for Houston?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
