Tucker County, not Parsons
Tucker County context, not Parsons figures
These are Tucker County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Parsons measurements.
- Establishments in Tucker County159
- Employment at those establishments, Tucker County1,927
- Covered employment, Tucker County2,837
- Average annual pay, Tucker County$45,378
- Average weekly wage, Tucker County$873
- Housing units permitted, Tucker County1
- Of those, single family, Tucker County1
- County product, 2024, Tucker County$405,906,000
- County product change over the prior year, Tucker County6.4 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Tucker County$74,742
Every figure in this section is published for Tucker County as a whole and is not a measurement of Parsons. 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.
