Manistee County, not Wellston
Manistee County context, not Wellston figures
These are Manistee County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Wellston measurements.
- Establishments in Manistee County574
- Employment at those establishments, Manistee County5,667
- Covered employment, Manistee County7,281
- Average annual pay, Manistee County$51,233
- Average weekly wage, Manistee County$985
- Housing units permitted, Manistee County248
- Of those, single family, Manistee County104
- County product, 2024, Manistee County$1,160,259,000
- County product change over the prior year, Manistee County5.0 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Manistee County$62,877
Every figure in this section is published for Manistee County as a whole and is not a measurement of Wellston. 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.
- This place is not listed as a community in the FEMA Community Status Book, so no NFIP participation or CRS class is shown.
- 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.
