Androscoggin County, not Auburn
Androscoggin County context, not Auburn figures
These are Androscoggin County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Auburn measurements.
- Establishments in Androscoggin County2,877
- Employment at those establishments, Androscoggin County42,629
- Covered employment, Androscoggin County48,676
- Average annual pay, Androscoggin County$58,507
- Average weekly wage, Androscoggin County$1,125
- Housing units permitted, Androscoggin County346
- Of those, single family, Androscoggin County263
- County product, 2024, Androscoggin County$7,049,945,000
- County product change over the prior year, Androscoggin County4.9 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Androscoggin County$51,981
Every figure in this section is published for Androscoggin County as a whole and is not a measurement of Auburn. 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.

24,602, in 10,337 households. Auburn city covers 59.34 square miles of land, which is 415 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.

How much SBA lending goes to Auburn businesses?
34 7(a) approvals totalling $5.1 m, across 13 lenders, median approval $40,000, plus 20 504 approvals worth $21.0 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Auburn, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Auburn borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Auburn. only 7 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 Auburn figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Androscoggin 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 Auburn.
Is zoning published for Auburn?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
