Lincoln County, not Denver
Lincoln County context, not Denver figures
These are Lincoln County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Denver measurements.
- Establishments in Lincoln County2,081
- Employment at those establishments, Lincoln County23,461
- Covered employment, Lincoln County28,110
- Average annual pay, Lincoln County$55,677
- Average weekly wage, Lincoln County$1,071
- Housing units permitted, Lincoln County697
- Of those, single family, Lincoln County697
- County product, 2024, Lincoln County$4,744,844,000
- County product change over the prior year, Lincoln County9.8 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Lincoln County$87,755
Every figure in this section is published for Lincoln County as a whole and is not a measurement of Denver. 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.
- This place is not listed as a community in the FEMA Community Status Book, so no NFIP participation or CRS class is shown.
- 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
Denver questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Denver, North Carolina?
2,497, in 1,122 households. Denver CDP covers 5.93 square miles of land, which is 421 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Denver in?
Lincoln 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 Denver?
$65,721. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $296,300. Median gross rent is $869 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Denver businesses?
48 7(a) approvals totalling $29.4 m, across 25 lenders, median approval $203,500, plus 13 504 approvals worth $11.1 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Denver, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Denver borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Denver. only 6 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.
Are the county figures on this page Denver figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Lincoln 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 Denver.
Is zoning published for Denver?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
