Cook County, not Lyons
Cook County context, not Lyons figures
These are Cook County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Lyons measurements.
- Establishments in Cook County134,513
- Employment at those establishments, Cook County2,492,328
- Covered employment, Cook County2,565,567
- Average annual pay, Cook County$86,931
- Average weekly wage, Cook County$1,672
- Housing units permitted, Cook County6,507
- Of those, single family, Cook County1,142
- County product, 2024, Cook County$546,440,623,000
- County product change over the prior year, Cook County4.6 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Cook County$91,691
Every figure in this section is published for Cook County as a whole and is not a measurement of Lyons. 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
Lyons questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Lyons, Illinois?
10,339, in 4,022 households. Lyons village covers 2.21 square miles of land, which is 4,684 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.

Cook 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 Lyons?
$70,993. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $257,300. Median gross rent is $1,198 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Lyons businesses?
26 7(a) approvals totalling $11.8 m, across 15 lenders, median approval $225,000, plus 7 504 approvals worth $3.9 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Lyons, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Lyons borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Lyons. only 8 resolved loans, too few to publish a rate, and a percentage over that few outcomes would move several points on a single loan. The counts are shown instead.
Is Lyons in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Lyons appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 170120, 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 Lyons figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Cook 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 Lyons.
Is zoning published for Lyons?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
