Lackawanna County, not Jessup
Lackawanna County context, not Jessup figures
These are Lackawanna County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Jessup measurements.
- Establishments in Lackawanna County5,198
- Employment at those establishments, Lackawanna County91,059
- Covered employment, Lackawanna County98,108
- Average annual pay, Lackawanna County$53,720
- Average weekly wage, Lackawanna County$1,033
- Housing units permitted, Lackawanna County250
- Of those, single family, Lackawanna County204
- County product, 2024, Lackawanna County$13,421,381,000
- County product change over the prior year, Lackawanna County4.0 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Lackawanna County$57,737
Every figure in this section is published for Lackawanna County as a whole and is not a measurement of Jessup. 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.

Do SBA loans to Jessup borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Jessup. only 1 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 Jessup in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Jessup appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 420531, 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 Jessup figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Lackawanna 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 Jessup.
Is zoning published for Jessup?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
