Marquette County, not Big Bay
Marquette County context, not Big Bay figures
These are Marquette County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Big Bay measurements.
- Establishments in Marquette County1,655
- Employment at those establishments, Marquette County21,827
- Covered employment, Marquette County26,385
- Average annual pay, Marquette County$54,658
- Average weekly wage, Marquette County$1,051
- Housing units permitted, Marquette County91
- Of those, single family, Marquette County89
- County product, 2024, Marquette County$3,596,670,000
- County product change over the prior year, Marquette County-0.5 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Marquette County$64,690
Every figure in this section is published for Marquette County as a whole and is not a measurement of Big 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.
- 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.
- No median gross rent is published for this place.
- 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.

No, and they are labelled so.

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