Lee County, not Ashton
Lee County context, not Ashton 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 Ashton measurements.
- Establishments in Lee County690
- Employment at those establishments, Lee County10,894
- Covered employment, Lee County12,375
- Average annual pay, Lee County$58,453
- Average weekly wage, Lee County$1,124
- Housing units permitted, Lee County43
- Of those, single family, Lee County27
- County product, 2024, Lee County$2,173,338,000
- County product change over the prior year, Lee County4.6 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Lee County$53,018
Every figure in this section is published for Lee County as a whole and is not a measurement of Ashton. 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.
- No SBA approvals are recorded to a borrower address in this place in either FOIA release.
- 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.

Is Ashton in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Ashton appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 170415, 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.

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