Martin County, not Hobe Sound
Martin County context, not Hobe Sound figures
These are Martin County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Hobe Sound measurements.
- Establishments in Martin County6,400
- Employment at those establishments, Martin County67,697
- Covered employment, Martin County76,510
- Average annual pay, Martin County$59,415
- Average weekly wage, Martin County$1,143
- Housing units permitted, Martin County646
- Of those, single family, Martin County524
- County product, 2024, Martin County$12,307,360,000
- County product change over the prior year, Martin County2.7 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Martin County$209,602
Every figure in this section is published for Martin County as a whole and is not a measurement of Hobe Sound. 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.

Is zoning published for Hobe Sound?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
