This is a small place, and the figures below carry wide margins.
The American Community Survey reaches Sheldon through a sample, not a count, and in a place this size that sample is thin. The population estimate here is 2,208 with a margin of error of plus or minus 1,199, which is 54.3 percent of the estimate itself. Every figure whose margin reaches 20 percent is printed with that margin beside it, so you can see the width of each one rather than having to assume it.
Nothing has been removed or adjusted. These are the published federal estimates, shown with the uncertainty the Census publishes alongside them.

Harris County, not Sheldon
Harris County context, not Sheldon figures
These are Harris County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Sheldon measurements.
- Establishments in Harris County111,215
- Employment at those establishments, Harris County2,182,164
- Covered employment, Harris County2,445,972
- Average annual pay, Harris County$88,554
- Average weekly wage, Harris County$1,703
- Housing units permitted, Harris County29,936
- Of those, single family, Harris County20,087
- County product, 2024, Harris County$592,750,582,000
- County product change over the prior year, Harris County5.1 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Harris County$73,835
Every figure in this section is published for Harris County as a whole and is not a measurement of Sheldon. 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.
- No median owner-occupied home value is published for this place.
- 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.
