Boulder County, not Superior
Boulder County context, not Superior figures
These are Boulder County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Superior measurements.
- Establishments in Boulder County12,990
- Employment at those establishments, Boulder County159,619
- Covered employment, Boulder County193,920
- Average annual pay, Boulder County$96,397
- Average weekly wage, Boulder County$1,854
- Housing units permitted, Boulder County1,680
- Of those, single family, Boulder County441
- County product, 2024, Boulder County$39,310,907,000
- County product change over the prior year, Boulder County4.3 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Boulder County$115,300
Every figure in this section is published for Boulder County as a whole and is not a measurement of Superior. 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
Superior questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Superior, Colorado?
13,305, in 5,049 households. Superior town covers 3.93 square miles of land, which is 3,383 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Superior in?
Superior lies in more than one. By area it is 95.0 percent in Boulder County, 5.0 percent in Jefferson County. This page sits under Boulder 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 Superior?
$159,434. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $903,900. Median gross rent is $2,457 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Superior businesses?
23 7(a) approvals totalling $8.7 m, across 13 lenders, median approval $200,000, plus 1 504 approvals worth $301,000. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Superior, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Superior borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Superior. only 5 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 Superior figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Boulder 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 Superior.
Is zoning published for Superior?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
