Crawford County, not Palestine
Crawford County context, not Palestine figures
These are Crawford County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Palestine measurements.

- Employment at those establishments, Crawford County6,707
- Covered employment, Crawford County7,487
- Average annual pay, Crawford County$61,683
- Average weekly wage, Crawford County$1,186

- County product, 2024, Crawford County$1,657,059,000
- County product change over the prior year, Crawford County0.0 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Crawford County$53,583
Every figure in this section is published for Crawford County as a whole and is not a measurement of Palestine. 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.

How much SBA lending goes to Palestine businesses?

Do SBA loans to Palestine borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Palestine. only 1 resolved loans, too few to publish a rate, and a percentage over that few outcomes would move several points on a single loan. The counts are shown instead.
Is Palestine in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Palestine appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 170179, 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 Palestine figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Crawford 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 Palestine.
Is zoning published for Palestine?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
