Schuylkill County, not Deer Lake
Schuylkill County context, not Deer Lake figures
These are Schuylkill County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Deer Lake measurements.
- Establishments in Schuylkill County2,705
- Employment at those establishments, Schuylkill County41,596
- Covered employment, Schuylkill County50,294
- Average annual pay, Schuylkill County$54,134
- Average weekly wage, Schuylkill County$1,041
- Housing units permitted, Schuylkill County239
- Of those, single family, Schuylkill County167
- County product, 2024, Schuylkill County$6,491,898,000
- County product change over the prior year, Schuylkill County5.0 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Schuylkill County$54,473
Every figure in this section is published for Schuylkill County as a whole and is not a measurement of Deer Lake. 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 approvals are recorded to a borrower address in this place in either FOIA release.
- 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 Deer Lake in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Deer Lake appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 422640, 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 Deer Lake figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Schuylkill 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 Deer Lake.
Is zoning published for Deer Lake?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
