This is a small place, and the figures below carry wide margins.
The American Community Survey reaches Empire through a sample, not a count, and in a place this size that sample is thin. The population estimate here is 306 with a margin of error of plus or minus 158, which is 51.6 percent of the estimate itself. Every figure whose margin reaches 20 percent is printed with that margin beside it, so you can see the width of each one rather than having to assume it.
Nothing has been removed or adjusted. These are the published federal estimates, shown with the uncertainty the Census publishes alongside them.

Dodge County, not Empire
Dodge County context, not Empire figures
These are Dodge County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Empire measurements.
- Establishments in Dodge County311
- Employment at those establishments, Dodge County3,117
- Covered employment, Dodge County4,956
- Average annual pay, Dodge County$40,731
- Average weekly wage, Dodge County$783
- Housing units permitted, Dodge County31
- Of those, single family, Dodge County5
- County product, 2024, Dodge County$585,027,000
- County product change over the prior year, Dodge County5.1 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Dodge County$32,682
Every figure in this section is published for Dodge County as a whole and is not a measurement of Empire. 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.
- No SBA approvals are recorded to a borrower address in this place in either FOIA release.
- This place is not listed as a community in the FEMA Community Status Book, so no NFIP participation or CRS class is shown.
- No median gross rent is published for this place.
- 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
Empire questions, answered from the record.

What county is Empire in?
Empire lies in more than one. By area it is 60.9 percent in Dodge County, 39.1 percent in Bleckley County. This page sits under Dodge County because that county holds the largest share. The split is measured from the Census boundary of the place against the county boundaries.

$43,438. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $121,900. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
Are the county figures on this page Empire figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Dodge 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 Empire.
Is zoning published for Empire?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
