Monroe County, not Marathon
Monroe County context, not Marathon figures
These are Monroe County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Marathon measurements.
- Establishments in Monroe County4,154
- Employment at those establishments, Monroe County37,134
- Covered employment, Monroe County47,058
- Average annual pay, Monroe County$58,702
- Average weekly wage, Monroe County$1,129
- Housing units permitted, Monroe County334
- Of those, single family, Monroe County245
- County product, 2024, Monroe County$8,349,784,000
- County product change over the prior year, Monroe County6.7 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Monroe County$262,503
Every figure in this section is published for Monroe County as a whole and is not a measurement of Marathon. 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.
- 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
Marathon questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Marathon, Florida?
9,914, in 4,018 households. Marathon city covers 8.45 square miles of land, which is 1,174 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Marathon in?
Monroe County, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.
What is the median household income in Marathon?
$89,355. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $725,800. Median gross rent is $1,633 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Marathon businesses?
18 7(a) approvals totalling $7.2 m, across 12 lenders, median approval $120,000, plus 4 504 approvals worth $5.0 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Marathon, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Marathon borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Marathon. 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.
Is Marathon in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Marathon appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 120681, carrying Community Rating System class 6, which is a premium discount for exceeding the programme minimum. Whether a specific parcel sits in a mapped special flood hazard area is an address level question the platform answers.
Are the county figures on this page Marathon figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Monroe 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 Marathon.
Is zoning published for Marathon?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
