Knox County, not Gilson
Knox County context, not Gilson figures
These are Knox County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Gilson measurements.
- Establishments in Knox County968
- Employment at those establishments, Knox County14,242
- Covered employment, Knox County17,106
- Average annual pay, Knox County$46,491
- Average weekly wage, Knox County$894
- Housing units permitted, Knox County2
- Of those, single family, Knox County2
- County product, 2024, Knox County$2,448,651,000
- County product change over the prior year, Knox County5.9 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Knox County$49,035
Every figure in this section is published for Knox County as a whole and is not a measurement of Gilson. 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.
- This place is not listed as a community in the FEMA Community Status Book, so no NFIP participation or CRS class is shown.
- No median gross rent is published for this place.
- 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.
