Are the county figures on this page Jefferson figures?
No, and they are labeled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Marion 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 Jefferson.
Is zoning published for Jefferson?
No. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
