Phillips County, not Malta
Phillips County context, not Malta figures
These are Phillips County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Malta measurements.
- Establishments in Phillips County135
- Employment at those establishments, Phillips County796
- Covered employment, Phillips County1,160
- Average annual pay, Phillips County$41,451
- Average weekly wage, Phillips County$797
- Housing units permitted, Phillips County0
- Of those, single family, Phillips County0
- County product, 2024, Phillips County$163,814,000
- County product change over the prior year, Phillips County-11.0 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Phillips County$51,013
Every figure in this section is published for Phillips County as a whole and is not a measurement of Malta. 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.
Common questions

How much SBA lending goes to Malta businesses?
7 7(a) approvals totalling $4.8 m, across 3 lenders, median approval $475,000. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Malta, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Malta borrowers get paid back?

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