Clinton County, not Cameron
Clinton County context, not Cameron figures
These are Clinton County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Cameron measurements.
- Establishments in Clinton County392
- Employment at those establishments, Clinton County2,947
- Covered employment, Clinton County4,455
- Average annual pay, Clinton County$48,055
- Average weekly wage, Clinton County$924
- Housing units permitted, Clinton County68
- Of those, single family, Clinton County66
- County product, 2024, Clinton County$575,078,000
- County product change over the prior year, Clinton County9.9 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Clinton County$61,483
Every figure in this section is published for Clinton County as a whole and is not a measurement of Cameron. 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.

Do SBA loans to Cameron borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Cameron. only 1 resolved loans, too few to publish a rate, and a percentage over that few outcomes would move several points on a single loan. The counts are shown instead.

No, and they are labelled so.

They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Cameron.
Is zoning published for Cameron?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
