Wayne County, not Dearborn
Wayne County context, not Dearborn figures
These are Wayne County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Dearborn measurements.
- Establishments in Wayne County33,699
- Employment at those establishments, Wayne County665,558
- Covered employment, Wayne County725,504
- Average annual pay, Wayne County$76,411
- Average weekly wage, Wayne County$1,469
- Housing units permitted, Wayne County2,629
- Of those, single family, Wayne County1,058

- County product change over the prior year, Wayne County3.9 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Wayne County$60,504
Every figure in this section is published for Wayne County as a whole and is not a measurement of Dearborn. 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
Dearborn questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Dearborn, Michigan?
107,423, in 36,695 households. Dearborn city covers 24.25 square miles of land, which is 4,430 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Dearborn in?
Wayne 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 Dearborn?
$65,324. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $218,800. Median gross rent is $1,327 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Dearborn businesses?
252 7(a) approvals totalling $67.8 m, across 30 lenders, median approval $75,000, plus 13 504 approvals worth $12.9 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Dearborn, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Dearborn borrowers get paid back?
Of the 54 loans that have reached a final outcome, 41 were paid in full and 13 charged off, a charge off rate of 24.1 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Dearborn in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Dearborn appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 260220, carrying Community Rating System class 10, which is a premium discount for exceeding the programme minimum. 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 Dearborn figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Wayne 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 Dearborn.
Is zoning published for Dearborn?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
