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

- Employment at those establishments, Leelanau County5,239
- Covered employment, Leelanau County6,662
- Average annual pay, Leelanau County$48,322

Every figure in this section is published for Leelanau County as a whole and is not a measurement of Suttons Bay. 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.

Do SBA loans to Suttons Bay borrowers get paid back?

Is Suttons Bay in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Suttons Bay appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 260770, 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 Suttons Bay.
Is zoning published for Suttons Bay?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
