Gwinnett County, not Suwanee
Gwinnett County context, not Suwanee figures
These are Gwinnett County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Suwanee measurements.
- Establishments in Gwinnett County27,653
- Employment at those establishments, Gwinnett County372,873
- Covered employment, Gwinnett County386,500
- Average annual pay, Gwinnett County$66,588
- Average weekly wage, Gwinnett County$1,281
- Housing units permitted, Gwinnett County5,603

- Average income of an arriving household, Gwinnett County$63,295
Every figure in this section is published for Gwinnett County as a whole and is not a measurement of Suwanee. 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
Suwanee questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Suwanee, Georgia?
22,349, in 8,410 households. Suwanee city covers 11.13 square miles of land, which is 2,008 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Suwanee in?
Gwinnett 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 Suwanee?
$103,260. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $480,600. Median gross rent is $1,885 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Suwanee businesses?
212 7(a) approvals totalling $144.3 m, across 60 lenders, median approval $310,000, plus 40 504 approvals worth $41.2 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Suwanee, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Suwanee borrowers get paid back?
Of the 42 loans that have reached a final outcome, 41 were paid in full and 1 charged off, a charge off rate of 2.4 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Suwanee in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Suwanee appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 130328, 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 Suwanee figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Gwinnett 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 Suwanee.
Is zoning published for Suwanee?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
