Lucas County, not Russell
Lucas County context, not Russell figures
These are Lucas County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Russell measurements.
- Establishments in Lucas County187
- Employment at those establishments, Lucas County4,663
- Covered employment, Lucas County3,351
- Average annual pay, Lucas County$50,709
- Average weekly wage, Lucas County$975
- Housing units permitted, Lucas County29
- Of those, single family, Lucas County3
- County product, 2024, Lucas County$362,431,000
- County product change over the prior year, Lucas County1.9 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Lucas County$51,122
Every figure in this section is published for Lucas County as a whole and is not a measurement of Russell. 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.
