McDonough County, not Bushnell
McDonough County context, not Bushnell figures
These are McDonough County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Bushnell measurements.
- Establishments in McDonough County611
- Employment at those establishments, McDonough County8,590
- Covered employment, McDonough County10,119
- Average annual pay, McDonough County$48,433
- Average weekly wage, McDonough County$931
- Housing units permitted, McDonough County1
- Of those, single family, McDonough County1
- County product, 2024, McDonough County$1,455,111,000
- County product change over the prior year, McDonough County2.6 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, McDonough County$42,259
Every figure in this section is published for McDonough County as a whole and is not a measurement of Bushnell. 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 Bushnell in the National Flood Insurance Program?
It is listed but not shown as participating. Bushnell appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 170471, 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 Bushnell figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for McDonough 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 Bushnell.
Is zoning published for Bushnell?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
