Des Moines County, not Mediapolis
Des Moines County context, not Mediapolis figures
These are Des Moines County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Mediapolis measurements.
- Establishments in Des Moines County1,065
- Employment at those establishments, Des Moines County18,107
- Covered employment, Des Moines County19,833
- Average annual pay, Des Moines County$52,718
- Average weekly wage, Des Moines County$1,014
- Housing units permitted, Des Moines County55
- Of those, single family, Des Moines County15
- County product, 2024, Des Moines County$2,923,864,000
- County product change over the prior year, Des Moines County6.5 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Des Moines County$54,671
Every figure in this section is published for Des Moines County as a whole and is not a measurement of Mediapolis. 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.
