This is a small place, and the figures below carry wide margins.
The American Community Survey reaches Lookout through a sample, not a count, and in a place this size that sample is thin. The population estimate here is 49 with a margin of error of plus or minus 60, which is 122.4 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. Because the margin here exceeds the estimate, this page shows its strongest sections only rather than a full profile.
Nothing has been removed or adjusted. These are the published federal estimates, shown with the uncertainty the Census publishes alongside them.

Modoc County, not Lookout
Modoc County context, not Lookout figures
These are Modoc County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Lookout measurements.
- Establishments in Modoc County160
- Employment at those establishments, Modoc County1,258
- Covered employment, Modoc County2,768
- Average annual pay, Modoc County$50,973
- Average weekly wage, Modoc County$980
- Housing units permitted, Modoc County5
- Of those, single family, Modoc County5
- County product, 2024, Modoc County$687,654,000
- County product change over the prior year, Modoc County4.2 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Modoc County$38,497
Every figure in this section is published for Modoc County as a whole and is not a measurement of Lookout. 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.
- No median owner-occupied home value is published for this place.
- No median gross rent is published for this place.
- 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 Lookout figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Modoc 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 Lookout.
Is zoning published for Lookout?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
