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

- Employment at those establishments, Mackinac County2,342
- Covered employment, Mackinac County4,836
- Average annual pay, Mackinac County$48,728

- County product change over the prior year, Mackinac County6.6 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Mackinac County$105,362
Every figure in this section is published for Mackinac County as a whole and is not a measurement of Mackinac Island. 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 Mackinac Island in the National Flood Insurance Program?

No, and they are labelled so.

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