Typical home value divided by the average annual wage of one covered job.
A percentile here is a min-max scaling of average rank: the smallest published value in the cohort is 0 and the largest is 100, and tied values share the average of the ranks they span. It is not the share of entities below the value, so 0 means smallest, not none below. Entities that did not publish the metric are outside the cohort entirely and are counted in neither the rank nor its denominator.

- US counties: not published this period

US Drought Monitor current week; the highest class of any polygon containing the point.
Reservoirs #
Surface water layer not loaded
Sites found: 0, searched within 150 km of this place’s internal point. That is a disc around a point, not the area itself: sites outside the boundary are included, and sites inside it further than 150 km away are not.
Σ(capacity × percent full) / Σ capacity over TWDB reservoirs within 150 km. Texas only; elsewhere USGS reservoir elevation/storage is listed without a capacity to normalise by.
Stream gauges #
Surface water layer not loaded
Sites found: 0, searched within 75 km of this place’s internal point. That is a disc around a point, not the area itself: sites outside the boundary are included, and sites inside it further than 75 km away are not.
USGS latest readings screened against EPA freshwater criteria (DO ≥ 5 mg/L, pH 6.5–9, conductance, turbidity, temperature); NWS flood categories where a NWPS gauge is co-located.

Banks & federal dollars #
$172.1 m in deposits at 3 offices of 2 banks (SOD June 2026); HHI 5,268, highly concentrated. $26.1 m federal obligations in FY2026 (direct payments $20.0 m, grants $6.1 m), $26,141 per covered job
| Item | Value | Distance |
|---|---|---|
| McIntosh County Bank | $105.9 m · 61.6% share · 2 offices | |
| Unison Bank | $66.1 m · 38.4% share · 1 office | |
| McIntosh, ND | $26.1 m FY2026 · $26,141/job | |
| MULTIPLE RECIPIENTS | $16.9 m · top recipient FY2026 |
| Institution | Deposits | Share | Offices |
|---|---|---|---|
| McIntosh County Bank | $105,939,000 | 61.6% | 2 |
| Unison Bank | $66,131,000 | 38.4% | 1 |
Deposit concentration is 5,268 across 2 banks, which the 1995 Department of Justice bank merger screen calls highly concentrated.
HHI = Σ (share %)² over 2 banks with deposits in the county = 61.6² + 38.4² = 5,268
FDIC Summary of Deposits: deposits at every insured office as of June 30, annual; HHI is the sum of squared county deposit shares (DOJ 1995 bank merger screen: 1000 / 1800). USAspending: obligations by place of performance for the latest complete federal fiscal year (Oct 1 to Sep 30), what agencies committed, not what they paid out; recipients are legal entities. Per-job divides obligations by BLS QCEW covered employment.
Federal obligations #
USAspending place-of-performance obligations for FY2026, by awarding agency.
| Awarding agency | Obligations |
|---|---|
| Social Security Administration | $15,514,068 |
| Department of Transportation | $6,064,339 |
| Department of Agriculture | $2,751,319 |
| Department of Veterans Affairs | $1,209,615 |
| Department of Housing and Urban Development | $368,913 |
| Railroad Retirement Board | $224,956 |
| Department of Education | $7,789 |
| Department of the Interior | $0 |
That is $26,141 per covered job, against 1,000 jobs in the 2026 Q1 QCEW quarter.
per job = FY2026 obligations $26.1 m / 1,000 covered jobs (BLS QCEW 2026 Q1, all ownerships) = $26,141
USAspending obligations are recorded where the work is performed, so a prime award performed here is counted here even when the recipient is headquartered elsewhere. Recipients are legal entities, never people.

The indicator registry has no county-keyed series and no geographic selection: every entry is national, a named gauge, a single state or a port. They are here as the backdrop the county's own numbers move against, and they are never this county's readings.
