This is a small place, and the figures below carry wide margins.
The American Community Survey reaches Shaft through a sample, not a count, and in a place this size that sample is thin. The population estimate here is 285 with a margin of error of plus or minus 151, which is 53.0 percent of the estimate itself. Every figure whose margin reaches 20 percent is printed with that margin beside it, so you can see the width of each one rather than having to assume it.
Nothing has been removed or adjusted. These are the published federal estimates, shown with the uncertainty the Census publishes alongside them.

Allegany County, not Shaft
Allegany County context, not Shaft figures
These are Allegany County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Shaft measurements.
- Establishments in Allegany County1,430
- Employment at those establishments, Allegany County21,366
- Covered employment, Allegany County26,680
- Average annual pay, Allegany County$51,777
- Average weekly wage, Allegany County$996
- Housing units permitted, Allegany County59
- Of those, single family, Allegany County29
- County product, 2024, Allegany County$3,542,201,000
- County product change over the prior year, Allegany County4.4 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Allegany County$48,279
Every figure in this section is published for Allegany County as a whole and is not a measurement of Shaft. 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.
- No median owner-occupied home value is published for this place.
- 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.

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