Franklin County, not Union
Franklin County context, not Union figures
These are Franklin County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Union measurements.
- Establishments in Franklin County2,702
- Employment at those establishments, Franklin County35,466
- Covered employment, Franklin County39,312
- Average annual pay, Franklin County$51,695
- Average weekly wage, Franklin County$994
- Housing units permitted, Franklin County661
- Of those, single family, Franklin County501
- County product, 2024, Franklin County$6,418,705,000
- County product change over the prior year, Franklin County1.7 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Franklin County$66,100
Every figure in this section is published for Franklin County as a whole and is not a measurement of Union. 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.

How much SBA lending goes to Union businesses?
22 7(a) approvals totalling $10.4 m, across 9 lenders, median approval $350,000, plus 11 504 approvals worth $5.4 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Union, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Union borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Union. only 2 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 Union figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Franklin 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 Union.
Is zoning published for Union?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
