Polk County, not Clive
Polk County context, not Clive figures
These are Polk County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Clive measurements.
- Establishments in Polk County13,890
- Employment at those establishments, Polk County295,413
- Covered employment, Polk County317,845
- Average annual pay, Polk County$72,557
- Average weekly wage, Polk County$1,395
- Housing units permitted, Polk County2,949
- Of those, single family, Polk County2,295
- County product, 2024, Polk County$63,823,028,000
- County product change over the prior year, Polk County7.2 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Polk County$63,088
Every figure in this section is published for Polk County as a whole and is not a measurement of Clive. 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
Clive questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Clive, Iowa?
19,012, in 7,053 households. Clive city covers 7.65 square miles of land, which is 2,484 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Clive in?
Clive lies in more than one. By area it is 61.2 percent in Polk County, 38.8 percent in Dallas County. This page sits under Polk 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 Clive?
$132,121. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $401,100. Median gross rent is $1,073 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Clive businesses?
32 7(a) approvals totalling $18.1 m, across 22 lenders, median approval $200,000, plus 7 504 approvals worth $2.2 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Clive, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Clive borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Clive. only 9 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 Clive figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Polk 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 Clive.
Is zoning published for Clive?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
