Preble County, not Eaton
Preble County context, not Eaton figures
These are Preble County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Eaton measurements.
- Establishments in Preble County671
- Employment at those establishments, Preble County10,532
- Covered employment, Preble County11,510
- Average annual pay, Preble County$52,740
- Average weekly wage, Preble County$1,014
- Housing units permitted, Preble County58
- Of those, single family, Preble County58
- County product, 2024, Preble County$1,562,751,000
- County product change over the prior year, Preble County-1.2 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Preble County$61,820
Every figure in this section is published for Preble County as a whole and is not a measurement of Eaton. 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
Eaton questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Eaton, Ohio?
8,339, in 3,803 households. Eaton city covers 6.43 square miles of land, which is 1,297 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Eaton in?
Preble 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 Eaton?
$51,467. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $148,200. Median gross rent is $764 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Eaton businesses?
12 7(a) approvals totalling $5.5 m, across 6 lenders, median approval $420,000, plus 2 504 approvals worth $312,000. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Eaton, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Eaton borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Eaton. only 5 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 Eaton in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Eaton appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 390462, 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 Eaton figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Preble 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 Eaton.
Is zoning published for Eaton?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
