Union County, not Roselle
Union County context, not Roselle figures
These are Union County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Roselle measurements.
- Establishments in Union County14,276
- Employment at those establishments, Union County208,505
- Covered employment, Union County229,010
- Average annual pay, Union County$84,322
- Average weekly wage, Union County$1,622
- Housing units permitted, Union County1,696
- Of those, single family, Union County212
- County product, 2024, Union County$51,947,451,000
- County product change over the prior year, Union County5.0 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Union County$118,079
Every figure in this section is published for Union County as a whole and is not a measurement of Roselle. 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.

Do SBA loans to Roselle borrowers get paid back?

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