Allendale County, not Fairfax
Allendale County context, not Fairfax figures
These are Allendale County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Fairfax measurements.
- Establishments in Allendale County125
- Employment at those establishments, Allendale County1,480
- Covered employment, Allendale County2,515
- Average annual pay, Allendale County$54,102
- Average weekly wage, Allendale County$1,040
- Housing units permitted, Allendale County6
- Of those, single family, Allendale County6
- County product, 2024, Allendale County$398,266,000
- County product change over the prior year, Allendale County2.4 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Allendale County$28,368
Every figure in this section is published for Allendale County as a whole and is not a measurement of Fairfax. 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.
