Minnehaha County, not Colton
Minnehaha County context, not Colton 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 Colton measurements.

- 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 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 Colton. 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.
