Clay County, not Fostoria
Clay County context, not Fostoria figures
These are Clay County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Fostoria measurements.
- Establishments in Clay County570
- Employment at those establishments, Clay County7,012
- Covered employment, Clay County8,534
- Average annual pay, Clay County$53,504
- Average weekly wage, Clay County$1,029
- Housing units permitted, Clay County9

- County product, 2024, Clay County$1,539,920,000
- County product change over the prior year, Clay County8.4 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Clay County$56,054
Every figure in this section is published for Clay County as a whole and is not a measurement of Fostoria. 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.
- 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.
