Grundy County, not Grundy Center
Grundy County context, not Grundy Center figures
These are Grundy County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Grundy Center measurements.
- Establishments in Grundy County299
- Employment at those establishments, Grundy County2,942
- Covered employment, Grundy County4,147
- Average annual pay, Grundy County$58,116
- Average weekly wage, Grundy County$1,118
- Housing units permitted, Grundy County11
- Of those, single family, Grundy County8
- County product, 2024, Grundy County$731,666,000
- County product change over the prior year, Grundy County-2.1 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Grundy County$59,828
Every figure in this section is published for Grundy County as a whole and is not a measurement of Grundy Center. 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.
- No median gross rent is published for this place.
- 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.
