Lubbock County, not Idalou
Lubbock County context, not Idalou figures
These are Lubbock County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Idalou measurements.

- Employment at those establishments, Lubbock County124,049
- Covered employment, Lubbock County151,811
- Average annual pay, Lubbock County$54,452
- Average weekly wage, Lubbock County$1,047

- County product change over the prior year, Lubbock County4.4 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Lubbock County$62,370
Every figure in this section is published for Lubbock County as a whole and is not a measurement of Idalou. 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.

Do SBA loans to Idalou borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Idalou. 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 Idalou in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Idalou appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 480916, 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 Idalou figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Lubbock 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 Idalou.
Is zoning published for Idalou?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
