St. Joseph County, not Colon
St. Joseph County context, not Colon figures
These are St. Joseph County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Colon measurements.
- Establishments in St. Joseph County1,149
- Employment at those establishments, St. Joseph County19,429
- Covered employment, St. Joseph County21,098
- Average annual pay, St. Joseph County$53,550
- Average weekly wage, St. Joseph County$1,030
- Housing units permitted, St. Joseph County180
- Of those, single family, St. Joseph County102

- County product change over the prior year, St. Joseph County1.3 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, St. Joseph County$57,369
Every figure in this section is published for St. Joseph County as a whole and is not a measurement of Colon. 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.

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