McHenry County, not Lake in the Hills
McHenry County context, not Lake in the Hills figures
These are McHenry County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Lake in the Hills measurements.
- Establishments in McHenry County8,140
- Employment at those establishments, McHenry County87,684
- Covered employment, McHenry County96,922
- Average annual pay, McHenry County$55,107
- Average weekly wage, McHenry County$1,060
- Housing units permitted, McHenry County1,565
- Of those, single family, McHenry County887

- Average income of an arriving household, McHenry County$80,258
Every figure in this section is published for McHenry County as a whole and is not a measurement of Lake in the Hills. 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.

Do SBA loans to Lake in the Hills borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Lake in the Hills. only 5 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 Lake in the Hills in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Lake in the Hills appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 170481, carrying Community Rating System class 5, which is a premium discount for exceeding the programme minimum. Whether a specific parcel sits in a mapped special flood hazard area is an address level question the platform answers.

No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for McHenry 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 Lake in the Hills.
Is zoning published for Lake in the Hills?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
