Ingham County, not Mason
Ingham County context, not Mason figures
These are Ingham County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Mason measurements.
- Establishments in Ingham County6,160
- Employment at those establishments, Ingham County111,995
- Covered employment, Ingham County155,500
- Average annual pay, Ingham County$68,532
- Average weekly wage, Ingham County$1,318
- Housing units permitted, Ingham County377
- Of those, single family, Ingham County191
- County product, 2024, Ingham County$23,568,547,000
- County product change over the prior year, Ingham County3.9 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Ingham County$50,440
Every figure in this section is published for Ingham County as a whole and is not a measurement of Mason. 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.
- 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.

How much SBA lending goes to Mason businesses?
16 7(a) approvals totalling $6.8 m, across 8 lenders, median approval $244,800, plus 10 504 approvals worth $6.0 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Mason, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Mason borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Mason. only 4 resolved loans, too few to publish a rate, and a percentage over that few outcomes would move several points on a single loan. The counts are shown instead.
Is Mason in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Mason appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 261126, with no Community Rating System class, so no CRS discount applies. Whether a specific parcel sits in a mapped special flood hazard area is an address level question the platform answers.
Are the county figures on this page Mason figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Ingham 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 Mason.
Is zoning published for Mason?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
