This is a small place, and the figures below carry wide margins.
The American Community Survey reaches Arnold City through a sample, not a count, and in a place this size that sample is thin. The population estimate here is 538 with a margin of error of plus or minus 282, which is 52.4 percent of the estimate itself. Every figure whose margin reaches 20 percent is printed with that margin beside it, so you can see the width of each one rather than having to assume it.
Nothing has been removed or adjusted. These are the published federal estimates, shown with the uncertainty the Census publishes alongside them.

Fayette County, not Arnold City
Fayette County context, not Arnold City figures
These are Fayette County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Arnold City measurements.
- Establishments in Fayette County2,485
- Employment at those establishments, Fayette County31,590
- Covered employment, Fayette County37,892
- Average annual pay, Fayette County$51,069
- Average weekly wage, Fayette County$982
- Housing units permitted, Fayette County189
- Of those, single family, Fayette County189
- County product, 2024, Fayette County$5,442,345,000
- County product change over the prior year, Fayette County0.9 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Fayette County$48,762
Every figure in this section is published for Fayette County as a whole and is not a measurement of Arnold City. 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 figures are shown. withheld: Pennsylvania has 2 places named Arnold City and the tape records none of their loans in Fayette County.
- No median owner-occupied home value is published for this place.
- 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 Arnold City in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Arnold City appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 420870, 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.

No, and they are labelled so.

They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Arnold City.
Is zoning published for Arnold City?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
