Kent County, not Harrington
Kent County context, not Harrington figures
These are Kent County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Harrington measurements.
- Establishments in Kent County4,971
- Employment at those establishments, Kent County61,078
- Covered employment, Kent County71,071
- Average annual pay, Kent County$57,464
- Average weekly wage, Kent County$1,105
- Housing units permitted, Kent County1,201
- Of those, single family, Kent County1,056
- County product, 2024, Kent County$11,652,246,000
- County product change over the prior year, Kent County8.2 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Kent County$57,874
Every figure in this section is published for Kent County as a whole and is not a measurement of Harrington. 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.

No, and they are labelled so.

They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Harrington.

Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
