Minnehaha County, not Brandon
Minnehaha County context, not Brandon figures
These are Minnehaha County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Brandon measurements.
- Establishments in Minnehaha County6,262
- Employment at those establishments, Minnehaha County125,353
- Covered employment, Minnehaha County138,556
- Average annual pay, Minnehaha County$65,100
- Average weekly wage, Minnehaha County$1,252
- Housing units permitted, Minnehaha County2,421
- Of those, single family, Minnehaha County1,015
- County product, 2024, Minnehaha County$22,447,462,000
- County product change over the prior year, Minnehaha County7.5 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Minnehaha County$87,582
Every figure in this section is published for Minnehaha County as a whole and is not a measurement of Brandon. 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.

25 7(a) approvals totalling $8.8 m, across 14 lenders, median approval $150,000, plus 35 504 approvals worth $28.4 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Brandon, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Brandon borrowers get paid back?

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