Spencer County, not Dale
Spencer County context, not Dale figures
These are Spencer County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Dale measurements.
- Establishments in Spencer County423
- Employment at those establishments, Spencer County5,132
- Covered employment, Spencer County6,990
- Average annual pay, Spencer County$48,388
- Average weekly wage, Spencer County$931

- County product, 2024, Spencer County$1,297,637,000
- County product change over the prior year, Spencer County12.1 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Spencer County$51,441
Every figure in this section is published for Spencer County as a whole and is not a measurement of Dale. 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.
- 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.
