Mercer County, not Aledo
Mercer County context, not Aledo figures
These are Mercer County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Aledo measurements.
- Establishments in Mercer County258
- Employment at those establishments, Mercer County2,200
- Covered employment, Mercer County2,968
- Average annual pay, Mercer County$43,706
- Average weekly wage, Mercer County$840
- Housing units permitted, Mercer County16
- Of those, single family, Mercer County16
- County product, 2024, Mercer County$589,642,000
- County product change over the prior year, Mercer County7.2 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Mercer County$53,796
Every figure in this section is published for Mercer County as a whole and is not a measurement of Aledo. 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.

Is Aledo in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Aledo appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 170507, 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 Aledo figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Mercer 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 Aledo.
Is zoning published for Aledo?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
