Hancock County, not Shirley
Hancock County context, not Shirley figures
These are Hancock County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Shirley measurements.
- Establishments in Hancock County1,634
- Employment at those establishments, Hancock County25,531
- Covered employment, Hancock County29,049
- Average annual pay, Hancock County$56,651
- Average weekly wage, Hancock County$1,089
- Housing units permitted, Hancock County1,091
- Of those, single family, Hancock County1,085
- County product, 2024, Hancock County$4,921,999,000
- County product change over the prior year, Hancock County4.6 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Hancock County$74,198
Every figure in this section is published for Hancock County as a whole and is not a measurement of Shirley. 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.
