Sampson County, not Plain View
Sampson County context, not Plain View figures
These are Sampson County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Plain View measurements.
- Establishments in Sampson County1,014
- Employment at those establishments, Sampson County12,611
- Covered employment, Sampson County17,090
- Average annual pay, Sampson County$49,873
- Average weekly wage, Sampson County$959
- Housing units permitted, Sampson County189
- Of those, single family, Sampson County189
- County product, 2024, Sampson County$2,548,224,000
- County product change over the prior year, Sampson County9.0 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Sampson County$44,167
Every figure in this section is published for Sampson County as a whole and is not a measurement of Plain View. 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.
- 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.
