Delaware County, not Gaston
Delaware County context, not Gaston figures
These are Delaware County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Gaston measurements.
- Establishments in Delaware County2,314
- Employment at those establishments, Delaware County40,098
- Covered employment, Delaware County44,772
- Average annual pay, Delaware County$51,307
- Average weekly wage, Delaware County$987
- Housing units permitted, Delaware County173
- Of those, single family, Delaware County109
- County product, 2024, Delaware County$5,403,175,000
- County product change over the prior year, Delaware County2.8 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Delaware County$43,532
Every figure in this section is published for Delaware County as a whole and is not a measurement of Gaston. 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.
- This place is not listed as a community in the FEMA Community Status Book, so no NFIP participation or CRS class is shown.
- 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.
