Pontotoc County, not Sherman
Pontotoc County context, not Sherman figures
These are Pontotoc County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Sherman measurements.
- Establishments in Pontotoc County540
- Employment at those establishments, Pontotoc County12,209
- Covered employment, Pontotoc County11,759
- Average annual pay, Pontotoc County$41,725
- Average weekly wage, Pontotoc County$802
- Housing units permitted, Pontotoc County101
- Of those, single family, Pontotoc County41
- County product, 2024, Pontotoc County$1,285,727,000
- County product change over the prior year, Pontotoc County3.6 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Pontotoc County$38,937
Every figure in this section is published for Pontotoc County as a whole and is not a measurement of Sherman. 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.

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