Mille Lacs County, not Foreston
Mille Lacs County context, not Foreston figures
These are Mille Lacs County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Foreston measurements.
- Establishments in Mille Lacs County742
- Employment at those establishments, Mille Lacs County8,011
- Covered employment, Mille Lacs County9,372
- Average annual pay, Mille Lacs County$47,582
- Average weekly wage, Mille Lacs County$915
- Housing units permitted, Mille Lacs County162

- Average income of an arriving household, Mille Lacs County$62,873
Every figure in this section is published for Mille Lacs County as a whole and is not a measurement of Foreston. 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.
