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

- Employment at those establishments, Madison County18,238
- Covered employment, Madison County23,600

- Average income of an arriving household, Madison County$62,140
Every figure in this section is published for Madison County as a whole and is not a measurement of Plain City. 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
Plain City questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Plain City, Ohio?

What county is Plain City in?
Plain City lies in more than one. By area it is 66.6 percent in Madison County, 33.4 percent in Union County. This page sits under Madison County because that county holds the largest share. The split is measured from the Census boundary of the place against the county boundaries.

$117,972. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $368,500. Median gross rent is $985 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Plain City businesses?
81 7(a) approvals totalling $31.4 m, across 21 lenders, median approval $275,000, plus 16 504 approvals worth $11.7 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Plain City, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Plain City borrowers get paid back?
Of the 17 loans that have reached a final outcome, 17 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 Plain City in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Plain City appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 390625, 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 Plain City figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Madison 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 Plain City.
Is zoning published for Plain City?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
