Spink County, not Mellette
Spink County context, not Mellette figures
These are Spink County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Mellette measurements.
- Establishments in Spink County197
- Employment at those establishments, Spink County1,311
- Covered employment, Spink County2,310
- Average annual pay, Spink County$51,117
- Average weekly wage, Spink County$983
- Housing units permitted, Spink County20
- Of those, single family, Spink County16
- County product, 2024, Spink County$549,077,000
- County product change over the prior year, Spink County-15.1 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Spink County$55,836
Every figure in this section is published for Spink County as a whole and is not a measurement of Mellette. 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.
- 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.
