Dakota County, not Dakota City
Dakota County context, not Dakota City figures
These are Dakota County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Dakota City measurements.
- Establishments in Dakota County427
- Employment at those establishments, Dakota County12,034
- Covered employment, Dakota County13,726
- Average annual pay, Dakota County$59,490
- Average weekly wage, Dakota County$1,144
- Housing units permitted, Dakota County32
- Of those, single family, Dakota County32
- County product, 2024, Dakota County$2,419,435,000
- County product change over the prior year, Dakota County2.9 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Dakota County$42,234
Every figure in this section is published for Dakota County as a whole and is not a measurement of Dakota City. 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.
