Ida County, not Ida Grove
Ida County context, not Ida Grove figures
These are Ida County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Ida Grove measurements.
- Establishments in Ida County244
- Employment at those establishments, Ida County3,275
- Covered employment, Ida County3,584
- Average annual pay, Ida County$60,392
- Average weekly wage, Ida County$1,161
- Housing units permitted, Ida County2
- Of those, single family, Ida County2
- County product, 2024, Ida County$745,612,000
- County product change over the prior year, Ida County-0.8 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Ida County$43,815
Every figure in this section is published for Ida County as a whole and is not a measurement of Ida Grove. 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.
