Jackson County, not Grass Lake
Jackson County context, not Grass Lake figures
These are Jackson County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Grass Lake measurements.
- Establishments in Jackson County2,991
- Employment at those establishments, Jackson County50,612
- Covered employment, Jackson County55,945
- Average annual pay, Jackson County$62,139
- Average weekly wage, Jackson County$1,195
- Housing units permitted, Jackson County334
- Of those, single family, Jackson County231
- County product, 2024, Jackson County$9,060,508,000
- County product change over the prior year, Jackson County4.4 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Jackson County$59,781
Every figure in this section is published for Jackson County as a whole and is not a measurement of Grass Lake. 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.
Common questions

How many people live in Grass Lake, Michigan?
1,186, in 532 households. Grass Lake village covers 0.94 square miles of land, which is 1,262 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.

$80,938. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $205,100. Median gross rent is $961 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Grass Lake businesses?
12 7(a) approvals totalling $1.6 m, across 6 lenders, median approval $110,700, plus 4 504 approvals worth $2.1 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Grass Lake, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Grass Lake borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Grass Lake. only 3 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 Grass Lake in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Grass Lake appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 261062, 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 Grass Lake figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Jackson 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 Grass Lake.
Is zoning published for Grass Lake?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
