Van Buren County, not Milton
Van Buren County context, not Milton figures
These are Van Buren County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Milton measurements.
- Establishments in Van Buren County149
- Employment at those establishments, Van Buren County1,389
- Covered employment, Van Buren County1,923
- Average annual pay, Van Buren County$46,260
- Average weekly wage, Van Buren County$890
- Housing units permitted, Van Buren County3
- Of those, single family, Van Buren County3
- County product, 2024, Van Buren County$294,997,000
- County product change over the prior year, Van Buren County0.7 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Van Buren County$42,263
Every figure in this section is published for Van Buren County as a whole and is not a measurement of Milton. 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.
