St. James Parish, not St. James
St. James Parish context, not St. James figures
These are St. James Parish figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as St. James measurements.
- Establishments in St. James Parish339
- Employment at those establishments, St. James Parish6,480
- Covered employment, St. James Parish7,650
- Average annual pay, St. James Parish$78,993
- Average weekly wage, St. James Parish$1,519
- Housing units permitted, St. James Parish64
- Of those, single family, St. James Parish62

- County product change over the prior year, St. James Parish-2.5 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, St. James Parish$42,018
Every figure in this section is published for St. James Parish as a whole and is not a measurement of St. James. 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.
- The American Community Survey does not publish a median household income for this place, which happens where the sample is too small to support one.
- 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.

What county is St. James in?
St. James Parish, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.
How much SBA lending goes to St. James businesses?
2 7(a) approvals totalling $7.3 m, across 2 lenders, median approval $3,900,000. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in St. James, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to St. James borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for St. James. only 1 resolved loans, too few to publish a rate, and a percentage over that few outcomes would move several points on a single loan. The counts are shown instead.
Are the county figures on this page St. James figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for St. James Parish 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 St. James.
Is zoning published for St. James?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
