Kane County, not Batavia
Kane County context, not Batavia figures
These are Kane County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Batavia measurements.
- Establishments in Kane County13,537
- Employment at those establishments, Kane County194,921
- Covered employment, Kane County213,795
- Average annual pay, Kane County$62,791
- Average weekly wage, Kane County$1,208
- Housing units permitted, Kane County2,132
- Of those, single family, Kane County1,741
- County product, 2024, Kane County$37,058,271,000
- County product change over the prior year, Kane County4.5 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Kane County$85,505
Every figure in this section is published for Kane County as a whole and is not a measurement of Batavia. 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 Batavia, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Batavia borrowers get paid back?

Is Batavia in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Batavia appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 170321, 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 Batavia figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Kane 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 Batavia.
Is zoning published for Batavia?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
