Matagorda County, not Palacios
Matagorda County context, not Palacios 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 Palacios 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
- Of those, single family, 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 Palacios. 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.
- 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.

Is Palacios in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Palacios appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 485495, 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 Palacios 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 Palacios.
Is zoning published for Palacios?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
