Ottawa County, not Jenison
Ottawa County context, not Jenison 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 Jenison 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 Jenison. 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.
- 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.

Do SBA loans to Jenison borrowers get paid back?

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 Jenison.
Is zoning published for Jenison?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
