Portage County, not Aurora
Portage County context, not Aurora figures
These are Portage County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Aurora measurements.
- Establishments in Portage County3,051
- Employment at those establishments, Portage County48,660
- Covered employment, Portage County56,561
- Average annual pay, Portage County$57,670
- Average weekly wage, Portage County$1,109
- Housing units permitted, Portage County200
- Of those, single family, Portage County181
- County product, 2024, Portage County$8,793,056,000
- County product change over the prior year, Portage County3.7 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Portage County$66,197
Every figure in this section is published for Portage County as a whole and is not a measurement of Aurora. 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
Aurora questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Aurora, Ohio?
17,581, in 6,957 households. Aurora city covers 22.91 square miles of land, which is 767 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.

Portage 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 Aurora?
$127,886. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $387,800. Median gross rent is $1,799 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Aurora businesses?
49 7(a) approvals totalling $15.1 m, across 10 lenders, median approval $100,000, plus 9 504 approvals worth $8.5 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Aurora, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Aurora borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Aurora. only 8 resolved loans, too few to publish a rate, and a percentage over that few outcomes would move several points on a single loan. The counts are shown instead.
Is Aurora in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Aurora appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 390454, 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 Aurora figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Portage 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 Aurora.
Is zoning published for Aurora?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
