Union County, not Union
Union County context, not Union 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 Union 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 Union. 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.
Common questions
Union questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Union, New Jersey?
2,774, in 991 households. Union CDP covers 0.26 square miles of land, which is 10,877 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Union in?
Union County, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.
What is the median household income in Union?
$182,730. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $510,800. Median gross rent is $1,807 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Union businesses?
96 7(a) approvals totalling $44.3 m, across 30 lenders, median approval $150,000, plus 6 504 approvals worth $12.1 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Union, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Union borrowers get paid back?
Of the 11 loans that have reached a final outcome, 8 were paid in full and 3 charged off, a charge off rate of 27.3 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Are the county figures on this page Union 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 Union.
Is zoning published for Union?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
