Upson County, not Salem
Upson County context, not Salem figures
These are Upson County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Salem measurements.
- Establishments in Upson County472
- Employment at those establishments, Upson County6,142
- Covered employment, Upson County7,233
- Average annual pay, Upson County$48,658
- Average weekly wage, Upson County$936
- Housing units permitted, Upson County133
- Of those, single family, Upson County129
- County product, 2024, Upson County$976,375,000
- County product change over the prior year, Upson County8.5 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Upson County$44,572
Every figure in this section is published for Upson County as a whole and is not a measurement of Salem. 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.
- The American Community Survey does not publish a median household income for this place, which happens where the sample is too small to support one.
- 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
Salem questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Salem, Georgia?
385, in 185 households. Salem CDP covers 8.82 square miles of land, which is 44 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Salem in?
Upson County, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.
Are the county figures on this page Salem figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Upson 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 Salem.
Is zoning published for Salem?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
