Dubuque County, not Cascade
Dubuque County context, not Cascade figures
These are Dubuque County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Cascade measurements.
- Establishments in Dubuque County2,804
- Employment at those establishments, Dubuque County56,357
- Covered employment, Dubuque County58,413
- Average annual pay, Dubuque County$58,669
- Average weekly wage, Dubuque County$1,128
- Housing units permitted, Dubuque County474
- Of those, single family, Dubuque County148
- County product, 2024, Dubuque County$9,159,845,000
- County product change over the prior year, Dubuque County3.9 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Dubuque County$59,870
Every figure in this section is published for Dubuque County as a whole and is not a measurement of Cascade. 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.
Common questions
Cascade questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Cascade, Iowa?
2,375, in 933 households. Cascade city covers 1.92 square miles of land, which is 1,236 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Cascade in?
Cascade lies in more than one. By area it is 86.5 percent in Dubuque County, 13.5 percent in Jones County. This page sits under Dubuque County because that county holds the largest share. The split is measured from the Census boundary of the place against the county boundaries.
What is the median household income in Cascade?
$69,688. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $196,200. Median gross rent is $900 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Cascade businesses?
5 7(a) approvals totalling $1.6 m, across 5 lenders, median approval $150,000, plus 1 504 approvals worth $137,000. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Cascade, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Cascade borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Cascade. 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.
Are the county figures on this page Cascade figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Dubuque 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 Cascade.
Is zoning published for Cascade?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
