Erie County, not Akron
Erie County context, not Akron figures
These are Erie County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Akron measurements.
- Establishments in Erie County22,497
- Employment at those establishments, Erie County418,202
- Covered employment, Erie County466,138
- Average annual pay, Erie County$66,971
- Average weekly wage, Erie County$1,288
- Housing units permitted, Erie County1,208
- Of those, single family, Erie County584
- County product, 2024, Erie County$81,131,829,000
- County product change over the prior year, Erie County4.4 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Erie County$66,766
Every figure in this section is published for Erie County as a whole and is not a measurement of Akron. 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.
Common questions
Akron questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Akron, New York?
2,897, in 1,575 households. Akron village covers 2.02 square miles of land, which is 1,436 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Akron in?
Erie 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 Akron?
$44,935. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $207,000. Median gross rent is $739 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Akron businesses?
9 7(a) approvals totalling $400,000, across 3 lenders, median approval $25,000, plus 2 504 approvals worth $4.5 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Akron, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Akron borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Akron. 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 Akron in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Akron appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 361553, 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 Akron figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Erie 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 Akron.
Is zoning published for Akron?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
