Kenosha County, not Kenosha
Kenosha County context, not Kenosha figures
These are Kenosha County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Kenosha measurements.
- Establishments in Kenosha County3,403
- Employment at those establishments, Kenosha County67,834
- Covered employment, Kenosha County74,313
- Average annual pay, Kenosha County$58,409
- Average weekly wage, Kenosha County$1,123
- Housing units permitted, Kenosha County260
- Of those, single family, Kenosha County216
- County product, 2024, Kenosha County$10,427,570,000
- County product change over the prior year, Kenosha County5.0 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Kenosha County$63,815
Every figure in this section is published for Kenosha County as a whole and is not a measurement of Kenosha. 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.

Is zoning published for Kenosha?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
