Herkimer County, not Ilion
Herkimer County context, not Ilion figures
These are Herkimer County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Ilion measurements.

- Covered employment, Herkimer County15,519
- Average annual pay, Herkimer County$51,384

Every figure in this section is published for Herkimer County as a whole and is not a measurement of Ilion. 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.
- 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.

9 7(a) approvals totalling $3.3 m, across 6 lenders, median approval $200,000. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Ilion, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Ilion borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Ilion. only 2 resolved loans, too few to publish a rate, and a percentage over that few outcomes would move several points on a single loan. The counts are shown instead.
Is Ilion in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Ilion appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 360308, carrying Community Rating System class 10, which is a premium discount for exceeding the programme minimum. Whether a specific parcel sits in a mapped special flood hazard area is an address level question the platform answers.
Are the county figures on this page Ilion figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Herkimer 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 Ilion.
Is zoning published for Ilion?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
