McIntosh County, not Darien
McIntosh County context, not Darien figures
These are McIntosh County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Darien measurements.
- Establishments in McIntosh County194
- Employment at those establishments, McIntosh County1,327
- Covered employment, McIntosh County1,772
- Average annual pay, McIntosh County$42,972
- Average weekly wage, McIntosh County$826

- County product change over the prior year, McIntosh County4.4 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, McIntosh County$59,585
Every figure in this section is published for McIntosh County as a whole and is not a measurement of Darien. 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.
- 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.

Do SBA loans to Darien borrowers get paid back?

Is Darien in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Darien appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 130131, with no Community Rating System class, so no CRS discount applies. Whether a specific parcel sits in a mapped special flood hazard area is an address level question the platform answers.
Are the county figures on this page Darien figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for McIntosh 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 Darien.
Is zoning published for Darien?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
