Rock County, not Janesville
Rock County context, not Janesville figures
These are Rock County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Janesville measurements.
- Establishments in Rock County3,362
- Employment at those establishments, Rock County64,537
- Covered employment, Rock County69,595
- Average annual pay, Rock County$59,381
- Average weekly wage, Rock County$1,142
- Housing units permitted, Rock County628
- Of those, single family, Rock County301
- County product, 2024, Rock County$10,849,146,000
- County product change over the prior year, Rock County4.0 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Rock County$55,005
Every figure in this section is published for Rock County as a whole and is not a measurement of Janesville. 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.

Do SBA loans to Janesville borrowers get paid back?

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