Somerset County, not Somerville
Somerset County context, not Somerville figures
These are Somerset County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Somerville measurements.
- Establishments in Somerset County9,831
- Employment at those establishments, Somerset County188,127
- Covered employment, Somerset County190,468
- Average annual pay, Somerset County$106,418
- Average weekly wage, Somerset County$2,046
- Housing units permitted, Somerset County635
- Of those, single family, Somerset County320
- County product, 2024, Somerset County$54,494,111,000
- County product change over the prior year, Somerset County5.3 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Somerset County$123,037
Every figure in this section is published for Somerset County as a whole and is not a measurement of Somerville. 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.

41 7(a) approvals totalling $19.5 m, across 20 lenders, median approval $300,000, plus 3 504 approvals worth $3.4 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Somerville, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Somerville borrowers get paid back?

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