Hennepin County, not Orono
Hennepin County context, not Orono figures
These are Hennepin County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Orono measurements.
- Establishments in Hennepin County40,486
- Employment at those establishments, Hennepin County939,201
- Covered employment, Hennepin County917,117
- Average annual pay, Hennepin County$90,157
- Average weekly wage, Hennepin County$1,734
- Housing units permitted, Hennepin County3,919
- Of those, single family, Hennepin County2,054
- County product, 2024, Hennepin County$193,617,316,000
- County product change over the prior year, Hennepin County5.1 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Hennepin County$77,501
Every figure in this section is published for Hennepin County as a whole and is not a measurement of Orono. 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.
