Day County, not Waubay
Day County context, not Waubay figures
These are Day County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Waubay measurements.
- Establishments in Day County226
- Employment at those establishments, Day County1,372
- Covered employment, Day County1,955
- Average annual pay, Day County$44,886
- Average weekly wage, Day County$863
- Housing units permitted, Day County34
- Of those, single family, Day County34
- County product, 2024, Day County$380,745,000
- County product change over the prior year, Day County-8.2 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Day County$67,832
Every figure in this section is published for Day County as a whole and is not a measurement of Waubay. 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.
