Union Parish, not Bernice
Union Parish context, not Bernice figures
These are Union Parish figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Bernice measurements.
- Establishments in Union Parish365
- Employment at those establishments, Union Parish4,627
- Covered employment, Union Parish5,454
- Average annual pay, Union Parish$42,245
- Average weekly wage, Union Parish$812
- Housing units permitted, Union Parish31

- County product, 2024, Union Parish$752,209,000
- County product change over the prior year, Union Parish14.3 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Union Parish$53,463
Every figure in this section is published for Union Parish as a whole and is not a measurement of Bernice. 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.
