Waupaca County, not Marion
Waupaca County context, not Marion figures
These are Waupaca County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Marion measurements.
- Establishments in Waupaca County1,199
- Employment at those establishments, Waupaca County15,170
- Covered employment, Waupaca County18,649
- Average annual pay, Waupaca County$48,246
- Average weekly wage, Waupaca County$928
- Housing units permitted, Waupaca County300
- Of those, single family, Waupaca County125
- County product, 2024, Waupaca County$2,506,755,000
- County product change over the prior year, Waupaca County4.4 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Waupaca County$68,984
Every figure in this section is published for Waupaca County as a whole and is not a measurement of Marion. 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

What county is Marion in?

How much SBA lending goes to Marion businesses?
3 7(a) approvals totalling $3.3 m, across 3 lenders, median approval $1,554,400, plus 4 504 approvals worth $5.6 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Marion, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Marion borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Marion. only 1 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 Marion figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Waupaca 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 Marion.
Is zoning published for Marion?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
