Westchester County, not Yonkers
Westchester County context, not Yonkers figures
These are Westchester County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Yonkers measurements.
- Establishments in Westchester County31,174
- Employment at those establishments, Westchester County389,560
- Covered employment, Westchester County429,582
- Average annual pay, Westchester County$94,317
- Average weekly wage, Westchester County$1,814
- Housing units permitted, Westchester County1,592
- Of those, single family, Westchester County268
- County product, 2024, Westchester County$120,153,941,000
- County product change over the prior year, Westchester County6.9 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Westchester County$169,980
Every figure in this section is published for Westchester County as a whole and is not a measurement of Yonkers. 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
Yonkers questions, answered from the record.

Westchester County, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.

$83,549. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $501,600. Median gross rent is $1,784 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Yonkers businesses?
168 7(a) approvals totalling $45.1 m, across 37 lenders, median approval $150,000, plus 26 504 approvals worth $17.4 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Yonkers, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Yonkers borrowers get paid back?
Of the 23 loans that have reached a final outcome, 18 were paid in full and 5 charged off, a charge off rate of 21.7 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Yonkers in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Yonkers appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 360936, 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 Yonkers figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Westchester 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 Yonkers.
Is zoning published for Yonkers?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
