LaGrange County, not Howe
LaGrange County context, not Howe figures
These are LaGrange County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Howe measurements.
- Establishments in LaGrange County977
- Employment at those establishments, LaGrange County13,799
- Covered employment, LaGrange County14,765
- Average annual pay, LaGrange County$53,284
- Average weekly wage, LaGrange County$1,025
- Housing units permitted, LaGrange County136
- Of those, single family, LaGrange County136

- County product change over the prior year, LaGrange County6.7 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, LaGrange County$60,020
Every figure in this section is published for LaGrange County as a whole and is not a measurement of Howe. 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.
- This place is not listed as a community in the FEMA Community Status Book, so no NFIP participation or CRS class is shown.
- No median gross rent is published for this place.
- 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

How much SBA lending goes to Howe businesses?
5 7(a) approvals totalling $2.9 m, across 3 lenders, median approval $559,700, plus 2 504 approvals worth $758,000. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Howe, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Howe borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Howe. only 3 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.
Are the county figures on this page Howe figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for LaGrange 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 Howe.
Is zoning published for Howe?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
