Story County, not Maxwell
Story County context, not Maxwell figures
These are Story County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Maxwell measurements.
- Establishments in Story County2,162
- Employment at those establishments, Story County33,500
- Covered employment, Story County47,549
- Average annual pay, Story County$62,615
- Average weekly wage, Story County$1,204
- Housing units permitted, Story County198
- Of those, single family, Story County152
- County product, 2024, Story County$7,790,105,000
- County product change over the prior year, Story County6.6 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Story County$55,800
Every figure in this section is published for Story County as a whole and is not a measurement of Maxwell. 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.
