Hamilton County, not McLeansboro
Hamilton County context, not McLeansboro figures
These are Hamilton County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as McLeansboro measurements.
- Establishments in Hamilton County175
- Employment at those establishments, Hamilton County1,531
- Covered employment, Hamilton County2,057
- Average annual pay, Hamilton County$54,483
- Average weekly wage, Hamilton County$1,048
- County product, 2024, Hamilton County$478,277,000
- County product change over the prior year, Hamilton County2.1 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Hamilton County$52,007
Every figure in this section is published for Hamilton County as a whole and is not a measurement of McLeansboro. 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.

Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
