Rusk County, not Tatum
Rusk County context, not Tatum figures
These are Rusk County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Tatum measurements.
- Establishments in Rusk County833
- Employment at those establishments, Rusk County10,458
- Covered employment, Rusk County13,100
- Average annual pay, Rusk County$53,942
- Average weekly wage, Rusk County$1,037
- Housing units permitted, Rusk County3
- Of those, single family, Rusk County3

- County product change over the prior year, Rusk County-8.0 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Rusk County$57,787
Every figure in this section is published for Rusk County as a whole and is not a measurement of Tatum. 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.
Common questions
Tatum questions, answered from the record.

What county is Tatum in?
Tatum lies in more than one. By area it is 66.1 percent in Rusk County, 33.9 percent in Panola County. This page sits under Rusk County because that county holds the largest share. The split is measured from the Census boundary of the place against the county boundaries.

Is Tatum in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Tatum appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 480995, 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 Tatum figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Rusk 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 Tatum.
Is zoning published for Tatum?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
