Benton County, not Urbana
Benton County context, not Urbana figures
These are Benton County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Urbana measurements.
- Establishments in Benton County535
- Employment at those establishments, Benton County4,296
- Covered employment, Benton County6,069
- Average annual pay, Benton County$54,216
- Average weekly wage, Benton County$1,043
- Housing units permitted, Benton County43
- Of those, single family, Benton County33
- County product, 2024, Benton County$1,137,117,000
- County product change over the prior year, Benton County1.0 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Benton County$55,107
Every figure in this section is published for Benton County as a whole and is not a measurement of Urbana. 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.
