Meade County, not Sturgis
Meade County context, not Sturgis figures
These are Meade County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Sturgis measurements.
- Establishments in Meade County805
- Employment at those establishments, Meade County6,662
- Covered employment, Meade County8,600
- Average annual pay, Meade County$57,255
- Average weekly wage, Meade County$1,101
- Housing units permitted, Meade County138
- Of those, single family, Meade County111
- County product, 2024, Meade County$1,304,608,000
- County product change over the prior year, Meade County4.8 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Meade County$59,664
Every figure in this section is published for Meade County as a whole and is not a measurement of Sturgis. 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.
