Anoka County, not Blaine
Anoka County context, not Blaine figures
These are Anoka County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Blaine measurements.
- Establishments in Anoka County8,438
- Employment at those establishments, Anoka County123,486
- Covered employment, Anoka County133,130
- Average annual pay, Anoka County$65,235
- Average weekly wage, Anoka County$1,255
- Housing units permitted, Anoka County1,062
- Of those, single family, Anoka County898
- County product, 2024, Anoka County$20,602,517,000
- County product change over the prior year, Anoka County4.5 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Anoka County$63,023
Every figure in this section is published for Anoka County as a whole and is not a measurement of Blaine. 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.

How much SBA lending goes to Blaine businesses?
104 7(a) approvals totalling $61.4 m, across 33 lenders, median approval $330,000, plus 90 504 approvals worth $69.8 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Blaine, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Blaine borrowers get paid back?
Of the 25 loans that have reached a final outcome, 24 were paid in full and 1 charged off, a charge off rate of 4.0 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Are the county figures on this page Blaine figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Anoka 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 Blaine.
Is zoning published for Blaine?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
