St. Mary Parish, not Franklin
St. Mary Parish context, not Franklin figures
These are St. Mary Parish figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Franklin measurements.
- Establishments in St. Mary Parish1,083
- Employment at those establishments, St. Mary Parish18,400
- Covered employment, St. Mary Parish19,838
- Average annual pay, St. Mary Parish$61,932
- Average weekly wage, St. Mary Parish$1,191
- Housing units permitted, St. Mary Parish47
- Of those, single family, St. Mary Parish27
- County product, 2024, St. Mary Parish$3,527,628,000
- County product change over the prior year, St. Mary Parish-1.2 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, St. Mary Parish$34,758
Every figure in this section is published for St. Mary Parish as a whole and is not a measurement of Franklin. 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.
