Providence County, not Pawtucket
Providence County context, not Pawtucket figures
These are Providence County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Pawtucket measurements.
- Establishments in Providence County16,414
- Employment at those establishments, Providence County273,731
- Covered employment, Providence County288,107
- Average annual pay, Providence County$68,852
- Average weekly wage, Providence County$1,324
- Housing units permitted, Providence County782
- Of those, single family, Providence County314
- County product, 2024, Providence County$46,726,521,000
- County product change over the prior year, Providence County4.5 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Providence County$68,047
Every figure in this section is published for Providence County as a whole and is not a measurement of Pawtucket. 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.
- This place is not listed as a community in the FEMA Community Status Book, so no NFIP participation or CRS class is shown.
- 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.

These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Pawtucket, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Pawtucket borrowers get paid back?
Of the 10 loans that have reached a final outcome, 9 were paid in full and 1 charged off, a charge off rate of 10.0 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Are the county figures on this page Pawtucket figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Providence 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 Pawtucket.
Is zoning published for Pawtucket?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
