Butler County, not Monroe
Butler County context, not Monroe figures
These are Butler County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Monroe measurements.
- Establishments in Butler County7,537
- Employment at those establishments, Butler County148,073
- Covered employment, Butler County163,093
- Average annual pay, Butler County$64,277
- Average weekly wage, Butler County$1,236
- Housing units permitted, Butler County1,162
- Of those, single family, Butler County660
- County product, 2024, Butler County$29,842,050,000
- County product change over the prior year, Butler County6.8 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Butler County$59,671
Every figure in this section is published for Butler County as a whole and is not a measurement of Monroe. 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
Monroe questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Monroe, Ohio?
15,401, in 5,259 households. Monroe city covers 15.78 square miles of land, which is 976 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Monroe in?
Monroe lies in more than one. By area it is 71.6 percent in Butler County, 28.4 percent in Warren County. This page sits under Butler 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 Monroe?
$105,250. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $282,400. Median gross rent is $1,608 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Monroe businesses?
17 7(a) approvals totalling $15.4 m, across 7 lenders, median approval $184,300, plus 14 504 approvals worth $10.5 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Monroe, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Monroe borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Monroe. 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 Monroe in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Monroe appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 390042, 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 Monroe figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Butler 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 Monroe.
Is zoning published for Monroe?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
