Riley County, not Manhattan
Riley County context, not Manhattan figures
These are Riley County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Manhattan measurements.
- Establishments in Riley County1,620
- Employment at those establishments, Riley County20,580
- Covered employment, Riley County30,349
- Average annual pay, Riley County$52,341
- Average weekly wage, Riley County$1,007
- Housing units permitted, Riley County126
- Of those, single family, Riley County91
- County product, 2024, Riley County$3,813,708,000
- County product change over the prior year, Riley County4.2 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Riley County$52,374
Every figure in this section is published for Riley County as a whole and is not a measurement of Manhattan. 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.

These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Manhattan, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Manhattan borrowers get paid back?
Of the 21 loans that have reached a final outcome, 21 were paid in full and 0 charged off, a charge off rate of 0.0 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Are the county figures on this page Manhattan figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Riley County as a whole and there is no place level equivalent. They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Manhattan.
Is zoning published for Manhattan?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
