Lucas County, not Sylvania
Lucas County context, not Sylvania figures
These are Lucas County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Sylvania measurements.
- Establishments in Lucas County9,282
- Employment at those establishments, Lucas County187,961
- Covered employment, Lucas County194,869
- Average annual pay, Lucas County$62,231
- Average weekly wage, Lucas County$1,197
- Housing units permitted, Lucas County413
- Of those, single family, Lucas County287
- County product, 2024, Lucas County$33,399,664,000
- County product change over the prior year, Lucas County1.3 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Lucas County$58,643
Every figure in this section is published for Lucas County as a whole and is not a measurement of Sylvania. 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

$100,189. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $249,200. Median gross rent is $1,072 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Sylvania businesses?
79 7(a) approvals totalling $19.1 m, across 17 lenders, median approval $60,000, plus 6 504 approvals worth $1.8 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Sylvania, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Sylvania borrowers get paid back?
Of the 22 loans that have reached a final outcome, 20 were paid in full and 2 charged off, a charge off rate of 9.1 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Sylvania in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Sylvania appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 390364, 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 Sylvania figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Lucas 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 Sylvania.
Is zoning published for Sylvania?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
