Pettis County, not Sedalia
Pettis County context, not Sedalia figures
These are Pettis County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Sedalia measurements.
- Establishments in Pettis County1,004
- Employment at those establishments, Pettis County17,225
- Covered employment, Pettis County19,456
- Average annual pay, Pettis County$48,616
- Average weekly wage, Pettis County$935
- Housing units permitted, Pettis County99
- Of those, single family, Pettis County24

- County product change over the prior year, Pettis County4.9 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Pettis County$45,129
Every figure in this section is published for Pettis County as a whole and is not a measurement of Sedalia. 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.
