Woodford County, not Eureka
Woodford County context, not Eureka figures
These are Woodford County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Eureka measurements.
- Establishments in Woodford County793
- Employment at those establishments, Woodford County8,503
- Covered employment, Woodford County11,428
- Average annual pay, Woodford County$54,993
- Average weekly wage, Woodford County$1,058
- Housing units permitted, Woodford County31
- Of those, single family, Woodford County31
- County product, 2024, Woodford County$1,783,290,000
- County product change over the prior year, Woodford County5.5 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Woodford County$63,739
Every figure in this section is published for Woodford County as a whole and is not a measurement of Eureka. 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
Eureka questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Eureka, Illinois?
5,007, in 2,199 households. Eureka city covers 2.74 square miles of land, which is 1,830 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.

$56,048. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $154,300. Median gross rent is $692 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Eureka businesses?
4 7(a) approvals totalling $208,800, across 2 lenders, median approval $50,000, plus 1 504 approvals worth $573,000. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Eureka, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Eureka borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Eureka. only 1 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 Eureka in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Eureka appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 170726, 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 Eureka figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Woodford 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 Eureka.
Is zoning published for Eureka?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
