Chase County, not Imperial
Chase County context, not Imperial figures
These are Chase County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Imperial measurements.
- Establishments in Chase County157
- Employment at those establishments, Chase County1,109
- Covered employment, Chase County1,779
- Average annual pay, Chase County$51,656
- Average weekly wage, Chase County$993
- Housing units permitted, Chase County21
- Of those, single family, Chase County17
- County product, 2024, Chase County$433,592,000
- County product change over the prior year, Chase County-4.8 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Chase County$47,500
Every figure in this section is published for Chase County as a whole and is not a measurement of Imperial. 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.
