Macomb County, not Center Line
Macomb County context, not Center Line figures
These are Macomb County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Center Line measurements.
- Establishments in Macomb County19,593
- Employment at those establishments, Macomb County328,741
- Covered employment, Macomb County336,295
- Average annual pay, Macomb County$71,046
- Average weekly wage, Macomb County$1,366
- Housing units permitted, Macomb County1,317
- Of those, single family, Macomb County1,080

- Average income of an arriving household, Macomb County$54,393
Every figure in this section is published for Macomb County as a whole and is not a measurement of Center Line. 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 Center Line borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Center Line. only 1 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 Center Line in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Center Line appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 260724, 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 Center Line figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Macomb 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 Center Line.
Is zoning published for Center Line?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
