Kent County, not East Grand Rapids
Kent County context, not East Grand Rapids figures
These are Kent County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as East Grand Rapids measurements.

- Employment at those establishments, Kent County384,635
- Covered employment, Kent County415,565
- Average annual pay, Kent County$62,288

Every figure in this section is published for Kent County as a whole and is not a measurement of East Grand Rapids. 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.

Is East Grand Rapids in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. East Grand Rapids appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 260105, 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.

No, and they are labelled so.

They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of East Grand Rapids.
Is zoning published for East Grand Rapids?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
