Cape Girardeau County, not Jackson
Cape Girardeau County context, not Jackson figures
These are Cape Girardeau County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Jackson measurements.
- Establishments in Cape Girardeau County2,334
- Employment at those establishments, Cape Girardeau County39,319
- Covered employment, Cape Girardeau County41,463
- Average annual pay, Cape Girardeau County$51,752
- Average weekly wage, Cape Girardeau County$995
- Housing units permitted, Cape Girardeau County80
- Of those, single family, Cape Girardeau County76
- County product, 2024, Cape Girardeau County$5,359,218,000
- County product change over the prior year, Cape Girardeau County2.2 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Cape Girardeau County$62,070
Every figure in this section is published for Cape Girardeau County as a whole and is not a measurement of Jackson. 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.

These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Jackson, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Jackson borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Jackson. only 2 resolved loans, too few to publish a rate, and a percentage over that few outcomes would move several points on a single loan. The counts are shown instead.
Are the county figures on this page Jackson figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Cape Girardeau 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 Jackson.
Is zoning published for Jackson?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
