Kaufman County, not Kaufman
Kaufman County context, not Kaufman figures
These are Kaufman County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Kaufman measurements.
- Establishments in Kaufman County2,500
- Employment at those establishments, Kaufman County34,851
- Covered employment, Kaufman County43,536
- Average annual pay, Kaufman County$55,964
- Average weekly wage, Kaufman County$1,076
- Housing units permitted, Kaufman County1,745
- Of those, single family, Kaufman County1,557
- County product, 2024, Kaufman County$6,966,835,000
- County product change over the prior year, Kaufman County8.5 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Kaufman County$64,233
Every figure in this section is published for Kaufman County as a whole and is not a measurement of Kaufman. 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 Kaufman, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Kaufman borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Kaufman. 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.
Is Kaufman in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Kaufman appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 480407, 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 Kaufman figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Kaufman 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 Kaufman.
Is zoning published for Kaufman?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
