Bowie County, not De Kalb
Bowie County context, not De Kalb figures
These are Bowie County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as De Kalb measurements.
- Establishments in Bowie County2,273
- Employment at those establishments, Bowie County33,330
- Covered employment, Bowie County42,229
- Average annual pay, Bowie County$53,061
- Average weekly wage, Bowie County$1,020
- Housing units permitted, Bowie County135
- Of those, single family, Bowie County56
- County product, 2024, Bowie County$5,214,488,000
- County product change over the prior year, Bowie County6.0 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Bowie County$52,135
Every figure in this section is published for Bowie County as a whole and is not a measurement of De Kalb. 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.
- 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.

Is De Kalb in the National Flood Insurance Program?
It is listed but not shown as participating. De Kalb appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 480055, with no Community Rating System class, so no CRS discount applies. Whether a specific parcel sits in a mapped special flood hazard area is an address level question the platform answers.
Are the county figures on this page De Kalb figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Bowie 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 De Kalb.
Is zoning published for De Kalb?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
