Houston County, not La Crescent
Houston County context, not La Crescent figures
These are Houston County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as La Crescent measurements.
- Establishments in Houston County394
- Employment at those establishments, Houston County4,309
- Covered employment, Houston County5,031
- Average annual pay, Houston County$47,489
- Average weekly wage, Houston County$913

- County product, 2024, Houston County$810,300,000
- County product change over the prior year, Houston County7.6 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Houston County$58,280
Every figure in this section is published for Houston County as a whole and is not a measurement of La Crescent. 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 La Crescent businesses?
4 7(a) approvals totalling $3.4 m, across 2 lenders, median approval $500,000. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in La Crescent, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to La Crescent borrowers get paid back?

Are the county figures on this page La Crescent figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Houston 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 La Crescent.
Is zoning published for La Crescent?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
