This is a small place, and the figures below carry wide margins.
The American Community Survey reaches Blessing through a sample, not a count, and in a place this size that sample is thin. The population estimate here is 418 with a margin of error of plus or minus 304, which is 72.7 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.

Matagorda County, not Blessing
Matagorda County context, not Blessing figures
These are Matagorda County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Blessing measurements.
- Establishments in Matagorda County707
- Employment at those establishments, Matagorda County7,870
- Covered employment, Matagorda County11,209
- Average annual pay, Matagorda County$68,994
- Average weekly wage, Matagorda County$1,327
- Housing units permitted, Matagorda County153

- County product change over the prior year, Matagorda County-3.9 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Matagorda County$80,107
Every figure in this section is published for Matagorda County as a whole and is not a measurement of Blessing. 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.
- 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 gross rent 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.

How much SBA lending goes to Blessing businesses?
4 7(a) approvals totalling $7.0 m, across 3 lenders, median approval $2,186,000. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Blessing, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Blessing borrowers get paid back?

Are the county figures on this page Blessing figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Matagorda 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 Blessing.
Is zoning published for Blessing?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
