Chickasaw County, not Houston
Chickasaw County context, not Houston figures
These are Chickasaw County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Houston measurements.
- Establishments in Chickasaw County318
- Employment at those establishments, Chickasaw County4,805
- Covered employment, Chickasaw County4,497
- Average annual pay, Chickasaw County$38,490
- Average weekly wage, Chickasaw County$740
- Housing units permitted, Chickasaw County3
- Of those, single family, Chickasaw County3
- County product, 2024, Chickasaw County$573,877,000
- County product change over the prior year, Chickasaw County-1.6 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Chickasaw County$32,545
Every figure in this section is published for Chickasaw County as a whole and is not a measurement of Houston. 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.
