Knox County, not Mount Vernon
Knox County context, not Mount Vernon figures
These are Knox County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Mount Vernon measurements.
- Establishments in Knox County1,121
- Employment at those establishments, Knox County17,629
- Covered employment, Knox County20,571
- Average annual pay, Knox County$55,637
- Average weekly wage, Knox County$1,070
- Housing units permitted, Knox County194
- Of those, single family, Knox County184
- County product, 2024, Knox County$3,085,167,000
- County product change over the prior year, Knox County3.3 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Knox County$65,014
Every figure in this section is published for Knox County as a whole and is not a measurement of Mount Vernon. 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.

How much SBA lending goes to Mount Vernon businesses?
25 7(a) approvals totalling $10.7 m, across 12 lenders, median approval $131,900, plus 11 504 approvals worth $6.7 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Mount Vernon, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Mount Vernon borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Mount Vernon. only 3 resolved loans, too few to publish a rate, and a percentage over that few outcomes would move several points on a single loan. The counts are shown instead.
Is Mount Vernon in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Mount Vernon appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 390311, 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 Mount Vernon figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Knox 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 Mount Vernon.
Is zoning published for Mount Vernon?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
