Washington County, not St. James
Washington County context, not St. James figures
These are Washington County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as St. James measurements.
- Establishments in Washington County3,417
- Employment at those establishments, Washington County61,729
- Covered employment, Washington County64,206
- Average annual pay, Washington County$58,252
- Average weekly wage, Washington County$1,120
- Housing units permitted, Washington County232
- Of those, single family, Washington County212
- County product, 2024, Washington County$9,961,298,000
- County product change over the prior year, Washington County5.0 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Washington County$56,803
Every figure in this section is published for Washington County as a whole and is not a measurement of St. James. 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.
- 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 Washington 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 St. James.
Is zoning published for St. James?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
