Marion County, not Marion
Marion County context, not Marion figures
These are Marion County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Marion measurements.
- Establishments in Marion County1,051
- Employment at those establishments, Marion County20,917
- Covered employment, Marion County23,100
- Average annual pay, Marion County$54,522
- Average weekly wage, Marion County$1,049
- Housing units permitted, Marion County41
- Of those, single family, Marion County38
- County product, 2024, Marion County$3,595,778,000
- County product change over the prior year, Marion County3.8 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Marion County$42,289
Every figure in this section is published for Marion County as a whole and is not a measurement of Marion. 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.

These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Marion, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Marion borrowers get paid back?

Are the county figures on this page Marion figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Marion 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 Marion.
Is zoning published for Marion?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
