Marshall County, not Blue Rapids
Marshall County context, not Blue Rapids figures
These are Marshall County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Blue Rapids measurements.
- Establishments in Marshall County364
- Employment at those establishments, Marshall County3,861
- Covered employment, Marshall County4,422
- Average annual pay, Marshall County$49,153
- Average weekly wage, Marshall County$945
- Housing units permitted, Marshall County8
- Of those, single family, Marshall County8
- County product, 2024, Marshall County$704,271,000
- County product change over the prior year, Marshall County-0.7 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Marshall County$51,751
Every figure in this section is published for Marshall County as a whole and is not a measurement of Blue Rapids. 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.
