Union County, not Cobden
Union County context, not Cobden figures
These are Union County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Cobden measurements.
- Establishments in Union County352
- Employment at those establishments, Union County3,489
- Covered employment, Union County5,377
- Average annual pay, Union County$45,223
- Average weekly wage, Union County$870
- Housing units permitted, Union County13
- Of those, single family, Union County13
- County product, 2024, Union County$532,778,000
- County product change over the prior year, Union County3.6 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Union County$46,593
Every figure in this section is published for Union County as a whole and is not a measurement of Cobden. 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.
- No median gross rent is published for this place.
- 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.

Is Cobden in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Cobden appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 171345, 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 Cobden figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Union 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 Cobden.
Is zoning published for Cobden?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
