Grundy County, not Gardner
Grundy County context, not Gardner figures
These are Grundy County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Gardner measurements.
- Establishments in Grundy County1,202
- Employment at those establishments, Grundy County17,169
- Covered employment, Grundy County22,349
- Average annual pay, Grundy County$69,868
- Average weekly wage, Grundy County$1,344
- Housing units permitted, Grundy County88
- Of those, single family, Grundy County54
- County product, 2024, Grundy County$6,043,605,000
- County product change over the prior year, Grundy County4.8 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Grundy County$65,103
Every figure in this section is published for Grundy County as a whole and is not a measurement of Gardner. 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.

Is Gardner in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Gardner appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 170261, 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 Gardner figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Grundy 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 Gardner.
Is zoning published for Gardner?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
