Shawnee County, not Wakarusa
Shawnee County context, not Wakarusa figures
These are Shawnee County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Wakarusa measurements.
- Establishments in Shawnee County3,959
- Employment at those establishments, Shawnee County77,340
- Covered employment, Shawnee County99,247
- Average annual pay, Shawnee County$60,096
- Average weekly wage, Shawnee County$1,156
- Housing units permitted, Shawnee County218
- Of those, single family, Shawnee County153
- County product, 2024, Shawnee County$14,583,646,000
- County product change over the prior year, Shawnee County3.9 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Shawnee County$53,508
Every figure in this section is published for Shawnee County as a whole and is not a measurement of Wakarusa. 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.
- No median gross rent is published for this place.
- 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.
