Tallahatchie County, not Charleston
Tallahatchie County context, not Charleston figures
These are Tallahatchie County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Charleston measurements.
- Establishments in Tallahatchie County152
- Employment at those establishments, Tallahatchie County1,407
- Covered employment, Tallahatchie County2,724
- Average annual pay, Tallahatchie County$46,126
- Average weekly wage, Tallahatchie County$887
- Housing units permitted, Tallahatchie County1
- Of those, single family, Tallahatchie County1
- County product, 2024, Tallahatchie County$446,651,000
- County product change over the prior year, Tallahatchie County4.1 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Tallahatchie County$33,778
Every figure in this section is published for Tallahatchie County as a whole and is not a measurement of Charleston. 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.
