Dakota County, not Burnsville
Dakota County context, not Burnsville figures
These are Dakota County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Burnsville measurements.
- Establishments in Dakota County10,964
- Employment at those establishments, Dakota County185,426
- Covered employment, Dakota County189,387
- Average annual pay, Dakota County$72,792
- Average weekly wage, Dakota County$1,400
- Housing units permitted, Dakota County2,146
- Of those, single family, Dakota County1,236
- County product, 2024, Dakota County$37,138,379,000
- County product change over the prior year, Dakota County4.6 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Dakota County$70,009
Every figure in this section is published for Dakota County as a whole and is not a measurement of Burnsville. 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.

No, and they are labelled so.

They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Burnsville.
Is zoning published for Burnsville?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
