Cumberland County, not Bridgeton
Cumberland County context, not Bridgeton figures
These are Cumberland County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Bridgeton measurements.
- Establishments in Cumberland County2,826
- Employment at those establishments, Cumberland County47,846
- Covered employment, Cumberland County59,688
- Average annual pay, Cumberland County$57,729
- Average weekly wage, Cumberland County$1,110
- Housing units permitted, Cumberland County253
- Of those, single family, Cumberland County120
- County product, 2024, Cumberland County$8,513,548,000
- County product change over the prior year, Cumberland County4.8 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Cumberland County$49,367
Every figure in this section is published for Cumberland County as a whole and is not a measurement of Bridgeton. 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.
