Luzerne County, not West Pittston
Luzerne County context, not West Pittston 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 West Pittston 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 West Pittston. 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 West Pittston borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for West Pittston. 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 West Pittston in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. West Pittston appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 420628, carrying Community Rating System class 7, which is a premium discount for exceeding the programme minimum. 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 West Pittston figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Luzerne 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 West Pittston.
Is zoning published for West Pittston?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
