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

- Employment at those establishments, Northumberland County23,047
- Covered employment, Northumberland County26,979
- Average annual pay, Northumberland County$53,035

- County product change over the prior year, Northumberland County13.7 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Northumberland County$45,585
Every figure in this section is published for Northumberland County as a whole and is not a measurement of Shamokin. 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 Shamokin borrowers get paid back?

Is Shamokin in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Shamokin appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 420741, 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.

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