Perry County, not Marion
Perry County context, not Marion figures
These are Perry County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Marion measurements.
- Establishments in Perry County117
- Employment at those establishments, Perry County1,560
- Covered employment, Perry County1,826
- Average annual pay, Perry County$42,082
- Average weekly wage, Perry County$809
- Housing units permitted, Perry County0
- Of those, single family, Perry County0
- County product, 2024, Perry County$259,965,000
- County product change over the prior year, Perry County3.2 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Perry County$38,923
Every figure in this section is published for Perry County as a whole and is not a measurement of Marion. 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.
