Delaware County, not Delaware
Delaware County context, not Delaware figures
These are Delaware County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Delaware measurements.
- Establishments in Delaware County5,365
- Employment at those establishments, Delaware County94,895
- Covered employment, Delaware County98,182
- Average annual pay, Delaware County$72,243
- Average weekly wage, Delaware County$1,389
- Housing units permitted, Delaware County2,747
- Of those, single family, Delaware County1,979
- County product, 2024, Delaware County$19,132,707,000
- County product change over the prior year, Delaware County7.6 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Delaware County$107,289
Every figure in this section is published for Delaware County as a whole and is not a measurement of Delaware. 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
Delaware questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Delaware, Ohio?
44,589, in 16,728 households. Delaware city covers 20.24 square miles of land, which is 2,203 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Delaware in?
Delaware 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 Delaware?
$99,786. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $318,400. Median gross rent is $1,286 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Delaware businesses?
131 7(a) approvals totalling $47.2 m, across 31 lenders, median approval $100,000, plus 23 504 approvals worth $11.7 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Delaware, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Delaware borrowers get paid back?
Of the 25 loans that have reached a final outcome, 24 were paid in full and 1 charged off, a charge off rate of 4.0 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Delaware in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Delaware appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 390148, 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 Delaware figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Delaware 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 Delaware.
Is zoning published for Delaware?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
