Sevier County, not Gatlinburg
Sevier County context, not Gatlinburg figures
These are Sevier County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Gatlinburg measurements.
- Establishments in Sevier County3,117
- Employment at those establishments, Sevier County47,891
- Covered employment, Sevier County53,730
- Average annual pay, Sevier County$43,711
- Average weekly wage, Sevier County$841
- Housing units permitted, Sevier County1,441
- Of those, single family, Sevier County882

- County product change over the prior year, Sevier County5.3 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Sevier County$63,083
Every figure in this section is published for Sevier County as a whole and is not a measurement of Gatlinburg. 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.
