Mason County, not Shelton
Mason County context, not Shelton figures
These are Mason County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Shelton measurements.
- Establishments in Mason County1,072
- Employment at those establishments, Mason County10,138
- Covered employment, Mason County14,840
- Average annual pay, Mason County$57,899
- Average weekly wage, Mason County$1,113
- Housing units permitted, Mason County299
- Of those, single family, Mason County299
- County product, 2024, Mason County$2,457,985,000
- County product change over the prior year, Mason County8.3 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Mason County$80,390
Every figure in this section is published for Mason County as a whole and is not a measurement of Shelton. 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.
- 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.

These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Shelton, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Shelton borrowers get paid back?

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