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.

$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 totaling $1.6 m since FY2020, across 5 lenders, median approval $150,000, plus 1 504 approvals worth $137,000 since FY2010. 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 loans have reached a final outcome, fewer than the 30 a charge-off rate needs, so no rate is published. The counts are shown instead.
Is Cascade in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Cascade appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as Cascade, city of, community 190117, 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 Cascade figures?
No, and they are labeled 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?
No. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
