Rensselaer County, not Poestenkill
Rensselaer County context, not Poestenkill figures
These are Rensselaer County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Poestenkill measurements.
- Establishments in Rensselaer County2,985
- Employment at those establishments, Rensselaer County46,817
- Covered employment, Rensselaer County56,791
- Average annual pay, Rensselaer County$78,789
- Average weekly wage, Rensselaer County$1,515
- Housing units permitted, Rensselaer County320
- Of those, single family, Rensselaer County160

- Average income of an arriving household, Rensselaer County$59,927
Every figure in this section is published for Rensselaer County as a whole and is not a measurement of Poestenkill. 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.
- No SBA approvals are recorded to a borrower address in this place in either FOIA release.
- No median gross rent is published for this place.
- 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.

Is Poestenkill in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Poestenkill appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 360676, with no Community Rating System class, so no CRS discount applies. Whether a specific parcel sits in a mapped special flood hazard area is an address level question the platform answers.
Are the county figures on this page Poestenkill figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Rensselaer 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 Poestenkill.
Is zoning published for Poestenkill?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
