Caldwell County, not Hudson
Caldwell County context, not Hudson figures
These are Caldwell County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Hudson measurements.
- Establishments in Caldwell County1,414
- Employment at those establishments, Caldwell County23,930
- Covered employment, Caldwell County25,506
- Average annual pay, Caldwell County$50,605
- Average weekly wage, Caldwell County$973
- Housing units permitted, Caldwell County224
- Of those, single family, Caldwell County224
- County product, 2024, Caldwell County$3,307,968,000
- County product change over the prior year, Caldwell County4.8 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Caldwell County$60,364
Every figure in this section is published for Caldwell County as a whole and is not a measurement of Hudson. 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.

How much SBA lending goes to Hudson businesses?
2 7(a) approvals totalling $479,000, across 2 lenders, median approval $404,000, plus 1 504 approvals worth $673,000. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Hudson, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Hudson borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Hudson. only 0 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 Hudson in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Hudson appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 370450, 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 Hudson figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Caldwell 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 Hudson.
Is zoning published for Hudson?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
