Kent County, not Kent City
Kent County context, not Kent City figures
These are Kent County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Kent City measurements.
- Establishments in Kent County17,799
- Employment at those establishments, Kent County384,635
- Covered employment, Kent County415,565
- Average annual pay, Kent County$62,288
- Average weekly wage, Kent County$1,198
- Housing units permitted, Kent County2,090
- Of those, single family, Kent County1,141
- County product, 2024, Kent County$60,316,473,000
- County product change over the prior year, Kent County4.5 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Kent County$84,215
Every figure in this section is published for Kent County as a whole and is not a measurement of Kent City. 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.
- No median gross rent is published for this place.
- 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.
