Genesee County, not Linden
Genesee County context, not Linden figures
These are Genesee County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Linden measurements.
- Establishments in Genesee County7,733
- Employment at those establishments, Genesee County121,033
- Covered employment, Genesee County133,787
- Average annual pay, Genesee County$55,798
- Average weekly wage, Genesee County$1,073
- Housing units permitted, Genesee County420
- Of those, single family, Genesee County339
- County product, 2024, Genesee County$20,159,547,000
- County product change over the prior year, Genesee County4.2 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Genesee County$55,023
Every figure in this section is published for Genesee County as a whole and is not a measurement of Linden. 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.
- 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
Linden questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Linden, Michigan?
4,160, in 1,556 households. Linden city covers 2.35 square miles of land, which is 1,767 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Linden in?
Genesee County, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.
What is the median household income in Linden?
$79,464. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $239,700. Median gross rent is $809 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Linden businesses?
36 7(a) approvals totalling $10.1 m, across 7 lenders, median approval $209,200. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Linden, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Linden borrowers get paid back?
Of the 13 loans that have reached a final outcome, 13 were paid in full and 0 charged off, a charge off rate of 0.0 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Linden in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Linden appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 260398, 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 Linden figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Genesee 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 Linden.
Is zoning published for Linden?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
