Camden County, not Berlin
Camden County context, not Berlin figures
These are Camden County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Berlin measurements.
- Establishments in Camden County11,541
- Employment at those establishments, Camden County190,853
- Covered employment, Camden County205,819
- Average annual pay, Camden County$69,051
- Average weekly wage, Camden County$1,328
- Housing units permitted, Camden County970
- Of those, single family, Camden County434
- County product, 2024, Camden County$34,619,814,000
- County product change over the prior year, Camden County6.1 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Camden County$70,319
Every figure in this section is published for Camden County as a whole and is not a measurement of Berlin. 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.
Common questions

How much SBA lending goes to Berlin businesses?
39 7(a) approvals totalling $14.5 m, across 14 lenders, median approval $102,700, plus 3 504 approvals worth $2.4 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Berlin, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Berlin borrowers get paid back?

Are the county figures on this page Berlin figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Camden 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 Berlin.
Is zoning published for Berlin?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
