Catawba County, not Newton
Catawba County context, not Newton 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 Newton 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, 2024, Catawba County$12,403,358,000
- 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 Newton. 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
Newton questions, answered from the record.

13,333, in 5,286 households. Newton city covers 13.80 square miles of land, which is 966 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.

$62,015. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $186,300. Median gross rent is $1,091 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Newton businesses?
12 7(a) approvals totalling $7.2 m, across 9 lenders, median approval $350,000, plus 6 504 approvals worth $3.9 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Newton, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Newton borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Newton. 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 Newton in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Newton appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 370057, 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 Newton 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 Newton.
Is zoning published for Newton?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
