Dutchess County, not Beacon
Dutchess County context, not Beacon figures
These are Dutchess County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Beacon measurements.

- Employment at those establishments, Dutchess County93,728
- Covered employment, Dutchess County112,897
- Average annual pay, Dutchess County$70,950

Every figure in this section is published for Dutchess County as a whole and is not a measurement of Beacon. 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.
- 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.

14,834, in 6,507 households. Beacon city covers 4.74 square miles of land, which is 3,130 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.

How much SBA lending goes to Beacon businesses?
20 7(a) approvals totalling $10.2 m, across 11 lenders, median approval $123,000, plus 9 504 approvals worth $4.0 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Beacon, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Beacon borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Beacon. only 2 resolved loans, too few to publish a rate, and a percentage over that few outcomes would move several points on a single loan. The counts are shown instead.
Is Beacon in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Beacon appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 360217, with no Community Rating System class, so no CRS discount applies. Whether a specific parcel sits in a mapped special flood hazard area is an address level question the platform answers.
Are the county figures on this page Beacon figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Dutchess 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 Beacon.
Is zoning published for Beacon?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
