Hughes County, not Pierre
Hughes County context, not Pierre figures
These are Hughes County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Pierre measurements.
- Establishments in Hughes County632
- Employment at those establishments, Hughes County6,453
- Covered employment, Hughes County10,867
- Average annual pay, Hughes County$61,739
- Average weekly wage, Hughes County$1,187
- Housing units permitted, Hughes County134
- Of those, single family, Hughes County19
- County product, 2024, Hughes County$1,660,528,000
- County product change over the prior year, Hughes County4.9 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Hughes County$60,493
Every figure in this section is published for Hughes County as a whole and is not a measurement of Pierre. 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.

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