Linn County, not Center Point
Linn County context, not Center Point figures
These are Linn County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Center Point measurements.
- Establishments in Linn County5,744
- Employment at those establishments, Linn County119,172
- Covered employment, Linn County125,917
- Average annual pay, Linn County$67,613
- Average weekly wage, Linn County$1,300
- Housing units permitted, Linn County1,024
- Of those, single family, Linn County443
- County product, 2024, Linn County$21,899,205,000
- County product change over the prior year, Linn County4.1 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Linn County$59,503
Every figure in this section is published for Linn County as a whole and is not a measurement of Center Point. 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.
