Sangamon County, not Dawson
Sangamon County context, not Dawson figures
These are Sangamon County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Dawson measurements.
- Establishments in Sangamon County4,925
- Employment at those establishments, Sangamon County80,005
- Covered employment, Sangamon County134,376
- Average annual pay, Sangamon County$69,350
- Average weekly wage, Sangamon County$1,334
- Housing units permitted, Sangamon County191
- Of those, single family, Sangamon County123

- County product change over the prior year, Sangamon County7.0 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Sangamon County$58,644
Every figure in this section is published for Sangamon County as a whole and is not a measurement of Dawson. 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.
- 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.
