Chippewa County, not Brimley
Chippewa County context, not Brimley figures
These are Chippewa County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Brimley measurements.
- Establishments in Chippewa County778
- Employment at those establishments, Chippewa County8,650
- Covered employment, Chippewa County12,793
- Average annual pay, Chippewa County$52,748
- Average weekly wage, Chippewa County$1,014
- Housing units permitted, Chippewa County55
- Of those, single family, Chippewa County55
- County product, 2024, Chippewa County$1,602,948,000
- County product change over the prior year, Chippewa County4.2 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Chippewa County$69,656
Every figure in this section is published for Chippewa County as a whole and is not a measurement of Brimley. 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.
- 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.
