Catawba County, not Conover
Catawba County context, not Conover figures
These are Catawba County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Conover measurements.
- Establishments in Catawba County4,349
- Employment at those establishments, Catawba County85,704
- Covered employment, Catawba County89,388
- Average annual pay, Catawba County$55,761
- Average weekly wage, Catawba County$1,072
- Housing units permitted, Catawba County2,016
- Of those, single family, Catawba County1,651

- County product change over the prior year, Catawba County4.1 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Catawba County$69,189
Every figure in this section is published for Catawba County as a whole and is not a measurement of Conover. 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
Conover questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Conover, North Carolina?
8,580, in 3,275 households. Conover city covers 11.46 square miles of land, which is 749 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.

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

$65,972. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $271,300. Median gross rent is $898 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Conover businesses?
17 7(a) approvals totalling $12.6 m, across 14 lenders, median approval $450,000, plus 2 504 approvals worth $1.7 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Conover, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Conover borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Conover. only 3 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 Conover in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Conover appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 370053, 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 Conover figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Catawba 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 Conover.
Is zoning published for Conover?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
