Saline County, not Crete
Saline County context, not Crete 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 Crete measurements.
- Establishments in Saline County321
- Employment at those establishments, Saline County5,375
- Covered employment, Saline County6,653
- Average annual pay, Saline County$54,910
- Average weekly wage, Saline County$1,056
- Housing units permitted, Saline County37
- Of those, single family, Saline County37
- County product, 2024, Saline County$1,293,492,000
- County product change over the prior year, Saline County1.7 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Saline County$48,851
Every figure in this section is published for Saline County as a whole and is not a measurement of Crete. 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.

Are the county figures on this page Crete figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Saline County as a whole and there is no place level equivalent. They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Crete.
Is zoning published for Crete?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
