Brown County, not Hecla
Brown County context, not Hecla figures
These are Brown County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Hecla measurements.
- Establishments in Brown County1,245
- Employment at those establishments, Brown County17,306
- Covered employment, Brown County19,808
- Average annual pay, Brown County$54,430
- Average weekly wage, Brown County$1,047
- Housing units permitted, Brown County85
- Of those, single family, Brown County69
- County product, 2024, Brown County$3,155,414,000
- County product change over the prior year, Brown County-1.1 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Brown County$53,249
Every figure in this section is published for Brown County as a whole and is not a measurement of Hecla. 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.
- The American Community Survey does not publish a median household income for this place, which happens where the sample is too small to support one.
- No median gross rent is published for this place.
- 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.

Brown County, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.
Are the county figures on this page Hecla figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Brown 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 Hecla.
Is zoning published for Hecla?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
