Lee County, not North Fort Myers
Lee County context, not North Fort Myers figures
These are Lee County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as North Fort Myers measurements.
- Establishments in Lee County22,756
- Employment at those establishments, Lee County264,855
- Covered employment, Lee County299,283
- Average annual pay, Lee County$61,578
- Average weekly wage, Lee County$1,184
- Housing units permitted, Lee County15,411
- Of those, single family, Lee County10,554

- County product change over the prior year, Lee County6.3 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Lee County$152,292
Every figure in this section is published for Lee County as a whole and is not a measurement of North Fort Myers. 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 Lee 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 North Fort Myers.
Is zoning published for North Fort Myers?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
