Clay County, not Wakefield
Clay County context, not Wakefield figures
These are Clay County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Wakefield measurements.
- Establishments in Clay County261
- Employment at those establishments, Clay County2,153
- Covered employment, Clay County2,926
- Average annual pay, Clay County$40,138
- Average weekly wage, Clay County$772
- Housing units permitted, Clay County28
- Of those, single family, Clay County28
- County product, 2024, Clay County$352,296,000
- County product change over the prior year, Clay County-2.4 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Clay County$44,010
Every figure in this section is published for Clay County as a whole and is not a measurement of Wakefield. 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.
