Kittson County, not Lancaster
Kittson County context, not Lancaster figures
These are Kittson County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Lancaster measurements.
- Establishments in Kittson County144
- Employment at those establishments, Kittson County1,067
- Covered employment, Kittson County1,436
- Average annual pay, Kittson County$49,935
- Average weekly wage, Kittson County$960
- Housing units permitted, Kittson County4
- Of those, single family, Kittson County4
- County product, 2024, Kittson County$222,916,000
- County product change over the prior year, Kittson County-21.2 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Kittson County$47,644
Every figure in this section is published for Kittson County as a whole and is not a measurement of Lancaster. 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.
- No SBA approvals are recorded to a borrower address in this place in either FOIA release.
- 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.
