Dare County, not Kitty Hawk
Dare County context, not Kitty Hawk figures
These are Dare County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Kitty Hawk measurements.
- Establishments in Dare County2,079
- Employment at those establishments, Dare County16,320
- Covered employment, Dare County20,359
- Average annual pay, Dare County$46,480
- Average weekly wage, Dare County$894
- Housing units permitted, Dare County371
- Of those, single family, Dare County371
- County product, 2024, Dare County$3,087,278,000
- County product change over the prior year, Dare County2.6 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Dare County$125,532
Every figure in this section is published for Dare County as a whole and is not a measurement of Kitty Hawk. 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.
- 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.

Do SBA loans to Kitty Hawk borrowers get paid back?

Is Kitty Hawk in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Kitty Hawk appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 370439, carrying Community Rating System class 6, which is a premium discount for exceeding the programme minimum. Whether a specific parcel sits in a mapped special flood hazard area is an address level question the platform answers.

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