Stokes County, not Walnut Cove
Stokes County context, not Walnut Cove figures
These are Stokes County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Walnut Cove measurements.

- Employment at those establishments, Stokes County5,767
- Covered employment, Stokes County7,708
- Average annual pay, Stokes County$41,766
- Average weekly wage, Stokes County$803

- Average income of an arriving household, Stokes County$53,801
Every figure in this section is published for Stokes County as a whole and is not a measurement of Walnut Cove. 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.
- 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 Walnut Cove in the National Flood Insurance Program?

Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
