Ocean County, not Lakehurst
Ocean County context, not Lakehurst figures
These are Ocean County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Lakehurst measurements.
- Establishments in Ocean County15,020
- Employment at those establishments, Ocean County172,650
- Covered employment, Ocean County189,912
- Average annual pay, Ocean County$57,452
- Average weekly wage, Ocean County$1,105
- Housing units permitted, Ocean County3,706
- Of those, single family, Ocean County2,808
- County product, 2024, Ocean County$31,708,748,000
- County product change over the prior year, Ocean County4.5 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Ocean County$104,688
Every figure in this section is published for Ocean County as a whole and is not a measurement of Lakehurst. 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.
