Luzerne County, not Duryea
Luzerne County context, not Duryea figures
These are Luzerne County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Duryea measurements.

- Employment at those establishments, Luzerne County139,382
- Covered employment, Luzerne County145,190
- Average annual pay, Luzerne County$55,901

Every figure in this section is published for Luzerne County as a whole and is not a measurement of Duryea. 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.

Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
