This is a small place, and the figures below carry wide margins.
The American Community Survey reaches Palo through a sample, not a count, and in a place this size that sample is thin. The population estimate here is 375 with a margin of error of plus or minus 198, which is 52.8 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.

Ionia County, not Palo
Ionia County context, not Palo figures
These are Ionia County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Palo measurements.
- Establishments in Ionia County904
- Employment at those establishments, Ionia County12,367
- Covered employment, Ionia County18,530
- Average annual pay, Ionia County$48,605
- Average weekly wage, Ionia County$935
- Housing units permitted, Ionia County94
- Of those, single family, Ionia County94

- County product change over the prior year, Ionia County3.6 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Ionia County$47,844
Every figure in this section is published for Ionia County as a whole and is not a measurement of Palo. 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 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.

No, and they are labelled so.

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