Licking County, not Newark
Licking County context, not Newark figures
These are Licking County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Newark measurements.
- Establishments in Licking County3,277
- Employment at those establishments, Licking County77,088
- Covered employment, Licking County72,111
- Average annual pay, Licking County$58,066
- Average weekly wage, Licking County$1,117
- Housing units permitted, Licking County156
- Of those, single family, Licking County156
- County product, 2024, Licking County$11,122,814,000
- County product change over the prior year, Licking County5.8 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Licking County$66,595
Every figure in this section is published for Licking County as a whole and is not a measurement of Newark. 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
Newark questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Newark, Ohio?
50,783, in 20,276 households. Newark city covers 20.98 square miles of land, which is 2,421 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Newark in?
Licking 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 Newark?
$61,670. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $192,300. Median gross rent is $973 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Newark businesses?
113 7(a) approvals totalling $28.7 m, across 17 lenders, median approval $65,000, plus 18 504 approvals worth $3.7 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Newark, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Newark borrowers get paid back?
Of the 31 loans that have reached a final outcome, 27 were paid in full and 4 charged off, a charge off rate of 12.9 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Newark in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Newark appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 390335, 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 Newark figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Licking 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 Newark.
Is zoning published for Newark?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
