St. Landry Parish, not Sunset
St. Landry Parish context, not Sunset figures
These are St. Landry Parish figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Sunset measurements.

- Employment at those establishments, St. Landry Parish21,089
- Covered employment, St. Landry Parish23,554
- Average annual pay, St. Landry Parish$47,117

- Housing units permitted, St. Landry Parish139

- Average income of an arriving household, St. Landry Parish$43,487
Every figure in this section is published for St. Landry Parish as a whole and is not a measurement of Sunset. 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.

No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for St. Landry 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 Sunset.
Is zoning published for Sunset?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
