Gibson County, not Humboldt
Gibson County context, not Humboldt figures
These are Gibson County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Humboldt measurements.
- Establishments in Gibson County951
- Employment at those establishments, Gibson County12,656
- Covered employment, Gibson County14,908
- Average annual pay, Gibson County$48,973
- Average weekly wage, Gibson County$942
- Housing units permitted, Gibson County152
- Of those, single family, Gibson County150
- County product, 2024, Gibson County$2,016,657,000
- County product change over the prior year, Gibson County-1.4 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Gibson County$52,422
Every figure in this section is published for Gibson County as a whole and is not a measurement of Humboldt. 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 Humboldt, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Humboldt borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Humboldt. only 1 resolved loans, too few to publish a rate, and a percentage over that few outcomes would move several points on a single loan. The counts are shown instead.
Are the county figures on this page Humboldt figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Gibson 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 Humboldt.
Is zoning published for Humboldt?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
