Nantucket County, not Nantucket
Nantucket County context, not Nantucket figures
These are Nantucket County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Nantucket measurements.
- Establishments in Nantucket County1,317
- Employment at those establishments, Nantucket County5,626
- Covered employment, Nantucket County8,560
- Average annual pay, Nantucket County$78,799
- Average weekly wage, Nantucket County$1,515
- Housing units permitted, Nantucket County262
- Of those, single family, Nantucket County218
- County product, 2024, Nantucket County$2,107,354,000
- County product change over the prior year, Nantucket County7.1 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Nantucket County$529,257
Every figure in this section is published for Nantucket County as a whole and is not a measurement of Nantucket. 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.

These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Nantucket, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Nantucket borrowers get paid back?

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