Holmes County, not Lexington
Holmes County context, not Lexington figures
These are Holmes County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Lexington measurements.
- Establishments in Holmes County208
- Employment at those establishments, Holmes County1,857
- Covered employment, Holmes County2,999
- Average annual pay, Holmes County$41,381
- Average weekly wage, Holmes County$796
- Housing units permitted, Holmes County19
- Of those, single family, Holmes County16
- County product, 2024, Holmes County$334,187,000
- County product change over the prior year, Holmes County-1.1 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Holmes County$33,127
Every figure in this section is published for Holmes County as a whole and is not a measurement of Lexington. 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.

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