Summit County, not Stow
Summit County context, not Stow figures
These are Summit County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Stow measurements.
- Establishments in Summit County13,309
- Employment at those establishments, Summit County249,827
- Covered employment, Summit County261,045
- Average annual pay, Summit County$62,871
- Average weekly wage, Summit County$1,209
- Housing units permitted, Summit County1,082
- Of those, single family, Summit County580
- County product, 2024, Summit County$40,349,074,000
- County product change over the prior year, Summit County4.3 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Summit County$97,249
Every figure in this section is published for Summit County as a whole and is not a measurement of Stow. 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
Stow questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Stow, Ohio?
34,240, in 14,393 households. Stow city covers 17.09 square miles of land, which is 2,003 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.

How much SBA lending goes to Stow businesses?
73 7(a) approvals totalling $18.4 m, across 17 lenders, median approval $85,500, plus 17 504 approvals worth $9.3 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Stow, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Stow borrowers get paid back?
Of the 21 loans that have reached a final outcome, 18 were paid in full and 3 charged off, a charge off rate of 14.3 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Stow in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Stow appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 390532, 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 Stow figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Summit 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 Stow.
Is zoning published for Stow?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
