Waukesha County, not Wales
Waukesha County context, not Wales figures
These are Waukesha County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Wales measurements.
- Establishments in Waukesha County12,761
- Employment at those establishments, Waukesha County246,232
- Covered employment, Waukesha County247,891
- Average annual pay, Waukesha County$69,989
- Average weekly wage, Waukesha County$1,346
- Housing units permitted, Waukesha County1,917
- Of those, single family, Waukesha County1,007
- County product, 2024, Waukesha County$42,029,760,000
- County product change over the prior year, Waukesha County4.4 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Waukesha County$91,326
Every figure in this section is published for Waukesha County as a whole and is not a measurement of Wales. 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 Wales borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Wales. only 0 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 Wales figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Waukesha 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 Wales.
Is zoning published for Wales?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
