McLeod County, not Brownton
McLeod County context, not Brownton figures
These are McLeod County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Brownton measurements.
- Establishments in McLeod County956
- Employment at those establishments, McLeod County14,890
- Covered employment, McLeod County15,697
- Average annual pay, McLeod County$56,991
- Average weekly wage, McLeod County$1,096
- Housing units permitted, McLeod County50

- County product, 2024, McLeod County$2,396,536,000
- County product change over the prior year, McLeod County4.2 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, McLeod County$58,211
Every figure in this section is published for McLeod County as a whole and is not a measurement of Brownton. 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.
