Coles County, not Oakland
Coles County context, not Oakland figures
These are Coles County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Oakland measurements.
- Establishments in Coles County1,112
- Employment at those establishments, Coles County20,638
- Covered employment, Coles County23,930
- Average annual pay, Coles County$52,987
- Average weekly wage, Coles County$1,019
- Housing units permitted, Coles County36
- Of those, single family, Coles County11
- County product, 2024, Coles County$3,508,914,000
- County product change over the prior year, Coles County5.5 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Coles County$45,545
Every figure in this section is published for Coles County as a whole and is not a measurement of Oakland. 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

How many people live in Oakland, Illinois?
862, in 443 households. Oakland city covers 0.78 square miles of land, which is 1,102 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.

Coles County, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.

$50,848. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $98,100. Median gross rent is $506 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
Is Oakland in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Oakland appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 170861, 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 Oakland figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Coles 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 Oakland.
Is zoning published for Oakland?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
