Edgar County, not Paris
Edgar County context, not Paris figures
These are Edgar County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Paris measurements.
- Establishments in Edgar County334
- Employment at those establishments, Edgar County6,798
- Covered employment, Edgar County7,065
- Average annual pay, Edgar County$54,835
- Average weekly wage, Edgar County$1,055
- Housing units permitted, Edgar County6
- Of those, single family, Edgar County6
- County product, 2024, Edgar County$1,039,014,000
- County product change over the prior year, Edgar County-0.2 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Edgar County$42,564
Every figure in this section is published for Edgar County as a whole and is not a measurement of Paris. 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
Paris questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Paris, Illinois?
8,276, in 3,925 households. Paris city covers 5.68 square miles of land, which is 1,457 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Paris in?
Edgar 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 Paris?
$53,927. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $75,700. Median gross rent is $777 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Paris businesses?
10 7(a) approvals totalling $5.7 m, across 5 lenders, median approval $301,500, plus 2 504 approvals worth $780,000. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Paris, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Paris borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Paris. only 2 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 Paris in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Paris appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 170225, 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 Paris figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Edgar 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 Paris.
Is zoning published for Paris?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
