Bergen County, not Moonachie
Bergen County context, not Moonachie figures
These are Bergen County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Moonachie measurements.
- Establishments in Bergen County31,818
- Employment at those establishments, Bergen County441,870
- Covered employment, Bergen County438,240
- Average annual pay, Bergen County$80,639
- Average weekly wage, Bergen County$1,551
- Housing units permitted, Bergen County3,329
- Of those, single family, Bergen County1,450

- County product change over the prior year, Bergen County3.9 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Bergen County$129,007
Every figure in this section is published for Bergen County as a whole and is not a measurement of Moonachie. 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.
