White County, not Kensett
White County context, not Kensett figures
These are White County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Kensett measurements.
- Establishments in White County1,637
- Employment at those establishments, White County23,543
- Covered employment, White County26,169
- Average annual pay, White County$46,050
- Average weekly wage, White County$886
- Housing units permitted, White County205
- Of those, single family, White County167
- County product, 2024, White County$3,310,545,000
- County product change over the prior year, White County6.8 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, White County$49,027
Every figure in this section is published for White County as a whole and is not a measurement of Kensett. 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.
