Chester County, not Kennett Square
Chester County context, not Kennett Square figures
These are Chester County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Kennett Square measurements.
- Establishments in Chester County15,102
- Employment at those establishments, Chester County262,454
- Covered employment, Chester County251,284
- Average annual pay, Chester County$87,886
- Average weekly wage, Chester County$1,690
- Housing units permitted, Chester County1,529
- Of those, single family, Chester County1,187

- County product change over the prior year, Chester County5.0 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Chester County$121,506
Every figure in this section is published for Chester County as a whole and is not a measurement of Kennett Square. 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.

These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Kennett Square, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Kennett Square borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Kennett Square. only 2 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 Kennett Square in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Kennett Square appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 420280, 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 Kennett Square figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Chester 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 Kennett Square.
Is zoning published for Kennett Square?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
