Manitowoc County, not Kiel
Manitowoc County context, not Kiel figures
These are Manitowoc County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Kiel measurements.
- Establishments in Manitowoc County1,726
- Employment at those establishments, Manitowoc County28,889
- Covered employment, Manitowoc County33,444
- Average annual pay, Manitowoc County$53,550
- Average weekly wage, Manitowoc County$1,030
- Housing units permitted, Manitowoc County112
- Of those, single family, Manitowoc County96
- County product, 2024, Manitowoc County$5,402,244,000
- County product change over the prior year, Manitowoc County4.7 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Manitowoc County$56,771
Every figure in this section is published for Manitowoc County as a whole and is not a measurement of Kiel. 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.
Common questions
Kiel questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Kiel, Wisconsin?
3,943, in 1,647 households. Kiel city covers 2.53 square miles of land, which is 1,560 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Kiel in?
Kiel lies in more than one. By area it is 84.2 percent in Manitowoc County, 15.8 percent in Calumet County. This page sits under Manitowoc County because that county holds the largest share. The split is measured from the Census boundary of the place against the county boundaries.
What is the median household income in Kiel?
$75,953. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $191,500. Median gross rent is $787 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Kiel businesses?
20 7(a) approvals totalling $13.1 m, across 7 lenders, median approval $360,000, plus 5 504 approvals worth $3.6 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Kiel, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Kiel borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Kiel. only 4 resolved loans, too few to publish a rate, and a percentage over that few outcomes would move several points on a single loan. The counts are shown instead.
Are the county figures on this page Kiel figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Manitowoc 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 Kiel.
Is zoning published for Kiel?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
