Lapeer County, not Otter Lake
Lapeer County context, not Otter Lake figures
These are Lapeer County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Otter Lake measurements.
- Establishments in Lapeer County1,771
- Employment at those establishments, Lapeer County20,902
- Covered employment, Lapeer County21,986
- Average annual pay, Lapeer County$51,778
- Average weekly wage, Lapeer County$996
- Housing units permitted, Lapeer County149
- Of those, single family, Lapeer County149
- County product, 2024, Lapeer County$3,257,810,000
- County product change over the prior year, Lapeer County3.6 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Lapeer County$63,881
Every figure in this section is published for Lapeer County as a whole and is not a measurement of Otter 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.
- No SBA approvals are recorded to a borrower address in this place in either FOIA release.
- 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
Otter Lake questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Otter Lake, Michigan?
379, in 179 households. Otter Lake village covers 0.76 square miles of land, which is 502 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Otter Lake in?
Otter Lake lies in more than one. By area it is 56.4 percent in Lapeer County, 43.6 percent in Genesee County. This page sits under Lapeer County because that county holds the largest share. The split is measured from the Census boundary of the place against the county boundaries.

$42,969. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $101,400. Median gross rent is $1,292 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
Is Otter Lake in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Otter Lake appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 261003, 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 Otter Lake figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Lapeer 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 Otter Lake.
Is zoning published for Otter Lake?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
