Yazoo County, not Benton
Yazoo County context, not Benton figures
These are Yazoo County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Benton measurements.
- Establishments in Yazoo County359
- Employment at those establishments, Yazoo County4,104
- Covered employment, Yazoo County6,234
- Average annual pay, Yazoo County$52,788
- Average weekly wage, Yazoo County$1,015
- Housing units permitted, Yazoo County12
- Of those, single family, Yazoo County9
- County product, 2024, Yazoo County$1,090,769,000
- County product change over the prior year, Yazoo County4.7 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Yazoo County$39,443
Every figure in this section is published for Yazoo County as a whole and is not a measurement of Benton. 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.
- No median owner-occupied home value is published for this place.
- 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.
