Worth County, not Kensett
Worth County context, not Kensett figures
These are Worth County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Kensett measurements.
- Establishments in Worth County163
- Employment at those establishments, Worth County1,634
- Covered employment, Worth County2,302
- Average annual pay, Worth County$46,458
- Average weekly wage, Worth County$893
- Housing units permitted, Worth County2
- Of those, single family, Worth County2
- County product, 2024, Worth County$484,997,000
- County product change over the prior year, Worth County-1.8 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Worth County$45,092
Every figure in this section is published for Worth County as a whole and is not a measurement of Kensett. 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.
- 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.
