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

- Employment at those establishments, Yoakum County2,103
- Covered employment, Yoakum County3,378
- Average annual pay, Yoakum County$79,119

- County product change over the prior year, Yoakum County-2.3 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Yoakum County$41,059
Every figure in this section is published for Yoakum County as a whole and is not a measurement of Plains. 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.
