Hudson County, not Union City
Hudson County context, not Union City figures
These are Hudson 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 City measurements.
- Establishments in Hudson County14,119
- Employment at those establishments, Hudson County253,652
- Covered employment, Hudson County273,729
- Average annual pay, Hudson County$94,901
- Average weekly wage, Hudson County$1,825
- Housing units permitted, Hudson County5,136
- Of those, single family, Hudson County917
- County product, 2024, Hudson County$65,735,570,000
- County product change over the prior year, Hudson County4.9 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Hudson County$109,974
Every figure in this section is published for Hudson County as a whole and is not a measurement of Union City. 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 City businesses?
75 7(a) approvals totalling $20.5 m, across 23 lenders, median approval $94,600, plus 8 504 approvals worth $7.2 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Union City, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Union City borrowers get paid back?
Of the 13 loans that have reached a final outcome, 11 were paid in full and 2 charged off, a charge off rate of 15.4 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Are the county figures on this page Union City figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Hudson 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 City.
Is zoning published for Union City?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
