Randolph County, not Ruma
Randolph County context, not Ruma figures
These are Randolph County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Ruma measurements.
- Establishments in Randolph County636
- Employment at those establishments, Randolph County10,736
- Covered employment, Randolph County11,393
- Average annual pay, Randolph County$55,632
- Average weekly wage, Randolph County$1,070
- Housing units permitted, Randolph County8
- Of those, single family, Randolph County8
- County product, 2024, Randolph County$2,022,513,000
- County product change over the prior year, Randolph County2.1 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Randolph County$45,141
Every figure in this section is published for Randolph County as a whole and is not a measurement of Ruma. 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.
Common questions

Is Ruma in the National Flood Insurance Program?
It is listed but not shown as participating. Ruma appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 171315, 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 Ruma figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Randolph 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 Ruma.
Is zoning published for Ruma?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
