This is a small place, and the figures below carry wide margins.
The American Community Survey reaches Chapin through a sample, not a count, and in a place this size that sample is thin. The population estimate here is 137 with a margin of error of plus or minus 105, which is 76.6 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.

Franklin County, not Chapin
Franklin County context, not Chapin figures
These are Franklin County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Chapin measurements.
- Establishments in Franklin County285
- Employment at those establishments, Franklin County3,139
- Covered employment, Franklin County3,982
- Average annual pay, Franklin County$53,225
- Average weekly wage, Franklin County$1,024
- Housing units permitted, Franklin County5
- Of those, single family, Franklin County5
- County product, 2024, Franklin County$789,823,000
- County product change over the prior year, Franklin County0.4 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Franklin County$53,200
Every figure in this section is published for Franklin County as a whole and is not a measurement of Chapin. 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.
- This place is not listed as a community in the FEMA Community Status Book, so no NFIP participation or CRS class is shown.
- No median gross rent is published for this place.
- 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.

No, and they are labelled so.

They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Chapin.
Is zoning published for Chapin?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
