Lafayette County, not Odessa
Lafayette County context, not Odessa figures
These are Lafayette County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Odessa measurements.
- Establishments in Lafayette County732
- Employment at those establishments, Lafayette County6,755
- Covered employment, Lafayette County8,809
- Average annual pay, Lafayette County$44,138
- Average weekly wage, Lafayette County$849
- Housing units permitted, Lafayette County121
- Of those, single family, Lafayette County91
- County product, 2024, Lafayette County$1,157,596,000
- County product change over the prior year, Lafayette County2.6 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Lafayette County$54,485
Every figure in this section is published for Lafayette County as a whole and is not a measurement of Odessa. 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 Odessa, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Odessa borrowers get paid back?

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