Scott County, not Benton
Scott County context, not Benton figures
These are Scott 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 Scott County970
- Employment at those establishments, Scott County14,139
- Covered employment, Scott County16,179
- Average annual pay, Scott County$49,793
- Average weekly wage, Scott County$958

- County product, 2024, Scott County$2,219,134,000
- County product change over the prior year, Scott County4.2 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Scott County$38,463
Every figure in this section is published for Scott 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.
- 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.
