Starke County, not Knox
Starke County context, not Knox figures
These are Starke County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Knox measurements.
- Establishments in Starke County319
- Employment at those establishments, Starke County3,394
- Covered employment, Starke County4,134
- Average annual pay, Starke County$44,150
- Average weekly wage, Starke County$849
- Housing units permitted, Starke County55
- Of those, single family, Starke County55
- County product, 2024, Starke County$690,378,000
- County product change over the prior year, Starke County4.0 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Starke County$49,013
Every figure in this section is published for Starke County as a whole and is not a measurement of Knox. 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.
