St. Clair County, not Swansea
St. Clair County context, not Swansea figures
These are St. Clair County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Swansea measurements.
- Establishments in St. Clair County4,973
- Employment at those establishments, St. Clair County72,871
- Covered employment, St. Clair County89,981
- Average annual pay, St. Clair County$57,001
- Average weekly wage, St. Clair County$1,096
- Housing units permitted, St. Clair County740
- Of those, single family, St. Clair County346
- County product, 2024, St. Clair County$16,131,374,000
- County product change over the prior year, St. Clair County2.1 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, St. Clair County$57,798
Every figure in this section is published for St. Clair County as a whole and is not a measurement of Swansea. 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
Swansea questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Swansea, Illinois?
14,710, in 5,777 households. Swansea village covers 6.48 square miles of land, which is 2,269 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Swansea in?
St. Clair 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 Swansea?
$91,587. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $223,600. Median gross rent is $1,137 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Swansea businesses?
15 7(a) approvals totalling $8.9 m, across 10 lenders, median approval $220,000, plus 2 504 approvals worth $454,000. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Swansea, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Swansea borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Swansea. only 6 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 Swansea in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Swansea appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 170637, carrying Community Rating System class 10, which is a premium discount for exceeding the programme minimum. 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 Swansea figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for St. Clair 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 Swansea.
Is zoning published for Swansea?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
