DeKalb County, not Genoa
DeKalb County context, not Genoa figures
These are DeKalb County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Genoa measurements.
- Establishments in DeKalb County1,975
- Employment at those establishments, DeKalb County29,129
- Covered employment, DeKalb County36,272
- Average annual pay, DeKalb County$56,896
- Average weekly wage, DeKalb County$1,094
- Housing units permitted, DeKalb County257
- Of those, single family, DeKalb County180
- County product, 2024, DeKalb County$5,661,367,000
- County product change over the prior year, DeKalb County2.2 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, DeKalb County$51,918
Every figure in this section is published for DeKalb County as a whole and is not a measurement of Genoa. 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.

These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Genoa, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Genoa borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Genoa. only 1 resolved loans, too few to publish a rate, and a percentage over that few outcomes would move several points on a single loan. The counts are shown instead.
Is Genoa in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Genoa appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 170183, 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 Genoa figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for DeKalb 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 Genoa.
Is zoning published for Genoa?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
