Presque Isle County, not Onaway
Presque Isle County context, not Onaway figures
These are Presque Isle County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Onaway measurements.
- Establishments in Presque Isle County317
- Employment at those establishments, Presque Isle County2,176
- Covered employment, Presque Isle County2,595
- Average annual pay, Presque Isle County$47,344
- Average weekly wage, Presque Isle County$910
- Housing units permitted, Presque Isle County46

- County product change over the prior year, Presque Isle County-0.9 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Presque Isle County$68,122
Every figure in this section is published for Presque Isle County as a whole and is not a measurement of Onaway. 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.
- 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.
