Lake County, not Fox Lake
Lake County context, not Fox Lake figures
These are Lake County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Fox Lake measurements.
- Establishments in Lake County20,076
- Employment at those establishments, Lake County337,069
- Covered employment, Lake County329,354
- Average annual pay, Lake County$91,042
- Average weekly wage, Lake County$1,751
- Housing units permitted, Lake County1,042
- Of those, single family, Lake County531
- County product, 2024, Lake County$82,868,798,000
- County product change over the prior year, Lake County3.7 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Lake County$132,863
Every figure in this section is published for Lake County as a whole and is not a measurement of Fox Lake. 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.

What county is Fox Lake in?

These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Fox Lake, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Fox Lake borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Fox Lake. 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 Fox Lake in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Fox Lake appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 170362, 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 Fox Lake figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Lake 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 Fox Lake.
Is zoning published for Fox Lake?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
