Palm Beach County, not Delray Beach
Palm Beach County context, not Delray Beach figures
These are Palm Beach County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Delray Beach measurements.
- Establishments in Palm Beach County55,803
- Employment at those establishments, Palm Beach County592,227
- Covered employment, Palm Beach County666,889
- Average annual pay, Palm Beach County$77,246
- Average weekly wage, Palm Beach County$1,485
- Housing units permitted, Palm Beach County4,089
- Of those, single family, Palm Beach County2,897

- Average income of an arriving household, Palm Beach County$260,093
Every figure in this section is published for Palm Beach County as a whole and is not a measurement of Delray Beach. 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
Delray Beach questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Delray Beach, Florida?
67,979, in 29,933 households. Delray Beach city covers 15.92 square miles of land, which is 4,269 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Delray Beach in?
Palm Beach 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 Delray Beach?
$82,041. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $420,300. Median gross rent is $1,961 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Delray Beach businesses?
250 7(a) approvals totalling $135.0 m, across 52 lenders, median approval $175,000, plus 46 504 approvals worth $32.2 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Delray Beach, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Delray Beach borrowers get paid back?
Of the 54 loans that have reached a final outcome, 46 were paid in full and 8 charged off, a charge off rate of 14.8 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Delray Beach in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Delray Beach appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 125102, 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 Delray Beach figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Palm Beach 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 Delray Beach.
Is zoning published for Delray Beach?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
