Thayer County, not Chester
Thayer County context, not Chester figures
These are Thayer County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Chester measurements.
- Establishments in Thayer County213
- Employment at those establishments, Thayer County1,859
- Covered employment, Thayer County2,190
- Average annual pay, Thayer County$51,087
- Average weekly wage, Thayer County$982
- Housing units permitted, Thayer County1
- Of those, single family, Thayer County1
- County product, 2024, Thayer County$535,515,000
- County product change over the prior year, Thayer County-3.3 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Thayer County$44,785
Every figure in this section is published for Thayer County as a whole and is not a measurement of Chester. 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.
- No SBA approvals are recorded to a borrower address in this place in either FOIA release.
- 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.
