Mecklenburg County, not Davidson
Mecklenburg County context, not Davidson figures
These are Mecklenburg County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Davidson measurements.
- Establishments in Mecklenburg County36,472
- Employment at those establishments, Mecklenburg County732,418
- Covered employment, Mecklenburg County788,436
- Average annual pay, Mecklenburg County$88,111
- Average weekly wage, Mecklenburg County$1,694
- Housing units permitted, Mecklenburg County11,969
- Of those, single family, Mecklenburg County6,496
- County product, 2024, Mecklenburg County$186,113,840,000
- County product change over the prior year, Mecklenburg County7.0 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Mecklenburg County$86,702
Every figure in this section is published for Mecklenburg County as a whole and is not a measurement of Davidson. 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
Davidson questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Davidson, North Carolina?
15,660, in 5,589 households. Davidson town covers 6.50 square miles of land, which is 2,410 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Davidson in?
Davidson lies in more than one. By area it is 95.0 percent in Mecklenburg County, 5.0 percent in Iredell County. This page sits under Mecklenburg County because that county holds the largest share. The split is measured from the Census boundary of the place against the county boundaries.
What is the median household income in Davidson?
$166,556. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $687,700. Median gross rent is $1,652 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Davidson businesses?
21 7(a) approvals totalling $13.7 m, across 13 lenders, median approval $425,000, plus 5 504 approvals worth $3.3 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Davidson, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Davidson borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Davidson. only 1 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 Davidson in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Davidson appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 370503, 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 Davidson figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Mecklenburg 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 Davidson.
Is zoning published for Davidson?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
