Washington County, not Wamac
Washington County context, not Wamac figures
These are Washington County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Wamac measurements.
- Establishments in Washington County364
- Employment at those establishments, Washington County6,274
- Covered employment, Washington County6,126
- Average annual pay, Washington County$60,403
- Average weekly wage, Washington County$1,162
- Housing units permitted, Washington County18

- County product change over the prior year, Washington County-3.0 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Washington County$50,786
Every figure in this section is published for Washington County as a whole and is not a measurement of Wamac. 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
Wamac questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Wamac, Illinois?
804, in 372 households. Wamac city covers 1.42 square miles of land, which is 568 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Wamac in?
Wamac lies in more than one. By area it is 53.6 percent in Washington County, 36.2 percent in Marion County, 10.2 percent in Clinton County. This page sits under Washington County because that county holds the largest share. The split is measured from the Census boundary of the place against the county boundaries.
What is the median household income in Wamac?
$36,500. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $20,100. Median gross rent is $787 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
Is Wamac in the National Flood Insurance Program?
It is listed but not shown as participating. Wamac appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 170455, 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 Wamac figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Washington 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 Wamac.
Is zoning published for Wamac?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
