DeKalb County, not Lithonia
DeKalb County context, not Lithonia figures
These are DeKalb County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Lithonia measurements.
- Establishments in DeKalb County18,258
- Employment at those establishments, DeKalb County298,747
- Covered employment, DeKalb County310,019
- Average annual pay, DeKalb County$76,011
- Average weekly wage, DeKalb County$1,462
- Housing units permitted, DeKalb County1,238
- Of those, single family, DeKalb County853
- County product, 2024, DeKalb County$59,344,347,000
- County product change over the prior year, DeKalb County4.4 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, DeKalb County$70,102
Every figure in this section is published for DeKalb County as a whole and is not a measurement of Lithonia. 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
Lithonia questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Lithonia, Georgia?
2,622, in 1,005 households. Lithonia city covers 0.93 square miles of land, which is 2,826 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Lithonia in?
DeKalb 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 Lithonia?
$61,713. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $223,000. Median gross rent is $1,336 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Lithonia businesses?
83 7(a) approvals totalling $57.8 m, across 35 lenders, median approval $330,000, plus 9 504 approvals worth $5.8 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Lithonia, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Lithonia borrowers get paid back?
Of the 10 loans that have reached a final outcome, 6 were paid in full and 4 charged off, a charge off rate of 40.0 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Lithonia in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Lithonia appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 130472, with no Community Rating System class, so no CRS discount applies. 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 Lithonia figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for DeKalb 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 Lithonia.
Is zoning published for Lithonia?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
