Geauga County, not Chardon
Geauga County context, not Chardon figures
These are Geauga County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Chardon measurements.
- Establishments in Geauga County2,816
- Employment at those establishments, Geauga County31,141
- Covered employment, Geauga County36,578
- Average annual pay, Geauga County$56,641
- Average weekly wage, Geauga County$1,089
- Housing units permitted, Geauga County219
- Of those, single family, Geauga County219
- County product, 2024, Geauga County$6,127,546,000
- County product change over the prior year, Geauga County6.1 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Geauga County$122,940
Every figure in this section is published for Geauga County as a whole and is not a measurement of Chardon. 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.

These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Chardon, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Chardon borrowers get paid back?
Of the 14 loans that have reached a final outcome, 14 were paid in full and 0 charged off, a charge off rate of 0.0 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Chardon in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Chardon appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 390191, 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 Chardon figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Geauga 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 Chardon.
Is zoning published for Chardon?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
