Kent County, not Smyrna
Kent County context, not Smyrna figures
These are Kent County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Smyrna measurements.
- Establishments in Kent County4,971
- Employment at those establishments, Kent County61,078
- Covered employment, Kent County71,071
- Average annual pay, Kent County$57,464
- Average weekly wage, Kent County$1,105
- Housing units permitted, Kent County1,201
- Of those, single family, Kent County1,056
- County product, 2024, Kent County$11,652,246,000
- County product change over the prior year, Kent County8.2 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Kent County$57,874
Every figure in this section is published for Kent County as a whole and is not a measurement of Smyrna. 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
Smyrna questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Smyrna, Delaware?

What county is Smyrna in?
Smyrna lies in more than one. By area it is 78.8 percent in Kent County, 21.2 percent in New Castle County. This page sits under Kent 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 Smyrna?
$67,048. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $291,400. Median gross rent is $1,534 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Smyrna businesses?
24 7(a) approvals totalling $7.3 m, across 11 lenders, median approval $132,800, plus 2 504 approvals worth $625,000. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Smyrna, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Smyrna borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Smyrna. 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 Smyrna figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Kent 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 Smyrna.
Is zoning published for Smyrna?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
