Sussex County, not Georgetown
Sussex County context, not Georgetown figures
These are Sussex County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Georgetown measurements.
- Establishments in Sussex County6,411
- Employment at those establishments, Sussex County78,541
- Covered employment, Sussex County94,273
- Average annual pay, Sussex County$55,078
- Average weekly wage, Sussex County$1,059
- Housing units permitted, Sussex County4,354
- Of those, single family, Sussex County3,816

- County product change over the prior year, Sussex County9.7 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Sussex County$127,341
Every figure in this section is published for Sussex County as a whole and is not a measurement of Georgetown. 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. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Sussex 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 Georgetown.
Is zoning published for Georgetown?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
