Crawford County, not Galion
Crawford County context, not Galion figures
These are Crawford County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Galion measurements.

- Covered employment, Crawford County12,735
- Average annual pay, Crawford County$50,171

- Average income of an arriving household, Crawford County$44,167
Every figure in this section is published for Crawford County as a whole and is not a measurement of Galion. 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
Galion questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Galion, Ohio?

What county is Galion in?
Galion lies in more than one. By area it is 96.4 percent in Crawford County, 2.6 percent in Richland County. This page sits under Crawford 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 Galion?
$52,176. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $112,700. Median gross rent is $803 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Galion businesses?
25 7(a) approvals totalling $4.7 m, across 6 lenders, median approval $150,000, plus 1 504 approvals worth $85,000. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Galion, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Galion borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Galion. only 8 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 Galion in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Galion appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 390092, 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 Galion figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Crawford 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 Galion.
Is zoning published for Galion?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
