Ottawa County, not Grand Haven
Ottawa County context, not Grand Haven figures
These are Ottawa County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Grand Haven measurements.
- Establishments in Ottawa County6,865
- Employment at those establishments, Ottawa County117,661
- Covered employment, Ottawa County131,885
- Average annual pay, Ottawa County$59,813
- Average weekly wage, Ottawa County$1,150
- Housing units permitted, Ottawa County1,235
- Of those, single family, Ottawa County779
- County product, 2024, Ottawa County$21,043,679,000
- County product change over the prior year, Ottawa County4.8 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Ottawa County$73,923
Every figure in this section is published for Ottawa County as a whole and is not a measurement of Grand Haven. 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.

These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Grand Haven, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Grand Haven borrowers get paid back?
Of the 14 loans that have reached a final outcome, 14 were paid in full and 0 charged off, a charge off rate of 0.0 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Grand Haven in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Grand Haven appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 260269, carrying Community Rating System class 8, which is a premium discount for exceeding the programme minimum. 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 Grand Haven figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Ottawa 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 Grand Haven.
Is zoning published for Grand Haven?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
