Hardin County, not Silsbee
Hardin County context, not Silsbee figures
These are Hardin County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Silsbee measurements.
- Establishments in Hardin County872
- Employment at those establishments, Hardin County8,993
- Covered employment, Hardin County12,197
- Average annual pay, Hardin County$52,391
- Average weekly wage, Hardin County$1,008
- Housing units permitted, Hardin County315
- Of those, single family, Hardin County315
- County product, 2024, Hardin County$1,853,272,000
- County product change over the prior year, Hardin County6.4 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Hardin County$63,149
Every figure in this section is published for Hardin County as a whole and is not a measurement of Silsbee. 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.
- 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 Silsbee, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Silsbee borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Silsbee. only 2 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.
Is Silsbee in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Silsbee appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 480285, 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 Silsbee figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Hardin 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 Silsbee.
Is zoning published for Silsbee?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
