Wright County, not Rockford
Wright County context, not Rockford figures
These are Wright County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Rockford measurements.
- Establishments in Wright County3,680
- Employment at those establishments, Wright County42,944
- Covered employment, Wright County48,758
- Average annual pay, Wright County$55,999
- Average weekly wage, Wright County$1,077
- Housing units permitted, Wright County1,264
- Of those, single family, Wright County1,032
- County product, 2024, Wright County$7,314,179,000
- County product change over the prior year, Wright County6.5 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Wright County$79,885
Every figure in this section is published for Wright County as a whole and is not a measurement of Rockford. 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.

Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
