Fillmore County, not Canton
Fillmore County context, not Canton figures
These are Fillmore County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Canton measurements.
- Establishments in Fillmore County577
- Employment at those establishments, Fillmore County4,608
- Covered employment, Fillmore County6,235
- Average annual pay, Fillmore County$44,287
- Average weekly wage, Fillmore County$852
- Housing units permitted, Fillmore County68
- Of those, single family, Fillmore County66
- County product, 2024, Fillmore County$877,049,000
- County product change over the prior year, Fillmore County-4.1 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Fillmore County$62,440
Every figure in this section is published for Fillmore County as a whole and is not a measurement of Canton. 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.

Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
