This is a small place, and the figures below carry wide margins.
The American Community Survey reaches Stanley through a sample, not a count, and in a place this size that sample is thin. The population estimate here is 69 with a margin of error of plus or minus 36, which is 52.2 percent of the estimate itself. Every figure whose margin reaches 20 percent is printed with that margin beside it, so you can see the width of each one rather than having to assume it.
Nothing has been removed or adjusted. These are the published federal estimates, shown with the uncertainty the Census publishes alongside them.

No, it is listed but not participating. Stanley appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as Stanley, city of, community 190333, 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.

Is zoning published for Stanley?
No. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
