Calvert County, not Dunkirk
Calvert County context, not Dunkirk figures
These are Calvert County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Dunkirk measurements.
- Establishments in Calvert County1,725
- Employment at those establishments, Calvert County19,204
- Covered employment, Calvert County22,676
- Average annual pay, Calvert County$61,154
- Average weekly wage, Calvert County$1,176
- Housing units permitted, Calvert County101
- Of those, single family, Calvert County98
- County product, 2024, Calvert County$6,248,492,000
- County product change over the prior year, Calvert County2.9 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Calvert County$86,523
Every figure in this section is published for Calvert County as a whole and is not a measurement of Dunkirk. 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.
- 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.

Is zoning published for Dunkirk?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
