Saline County, not Nelson
Saline County context, not Nelson figures
These are Saline County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Nelson measurements.
- Establishments in Saline County451
- Employment at those establishments, Saline County6,906
- Covered employment, Saline County8,879
- Average annual pay, Saline County$45,958
- Average weekly wage, Saline County$884
- Housing units permitted, Saline County13
- Of those, single family, Saline County7
- County product, 2024, Saline County$1,303,916,000
- County product change over the prior year, Saline County1.5 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Saline County$48,156
Every figure in this section is published for Saline County as a whole and is not a measurement of Nelson. 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.
- The American Community Survey does not publish a median household income for this place, which happens where the sample is too small to support one.
- No median gross rent is published for this place.
- 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.
