Benton County, not Big Sandy
Benton County context, not Big Sandy figures
These are Benton County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Big Sandy measurements.
- Establishments in Benton County293
- Employment at those establishments, Benton County3,530
- Covered employment, Benton County4,264
- Average annual pay, Benton County$45,755
- Average weekly wage, Benton County$880
- Housing units permitted, Benton County6
- Of those, single family, Benton County6
- County product, 2024, Benton County$587,498,000
- County product change over the prior year, Benton County6.1 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Benton County$58,752
Every figure in this section is published for Benton County as a whole and is not a measurement of Big Sandy. 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.
- 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.
