Lyon County, not Ghent
Lyon County context, not Ghent figures
These are Lyon County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Ghent measurements.
- Establishments in Lyon County814
- Employment at those establishments, Lyon County12,732
- Covered employment, Lyon County13,763
- Average annual pay, Lyon County$52,859
- Average weekly wage, Lyon County$1,017
- Housing units permitted, Lyon County92
- Of those, single family, Lyon County20
- County product, 2024, Lyon County$2,099,962,000
- County product change over the prior year, Lyon County5.4 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Lyon County$47,981
Every figure in this section is published for Lyon County as a whole and is not a measurement of Ghent. 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.
