The county has lost 1.30 percent of its population since the 2020 census base. Deaths exceeded births in 2024 and the population still grew, so all of the growth came from people moving in. A market held up by migration is more sensitive to a change in relative cost than one growing from household formation.

These are counts of establishments physically operating in the county, not listings, so they are the supply side a feasibility study measures demand against. County Business Patterns counts private establishments with paid employees in March 2023, while the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages above counts every unemployment-insured employer, public ones included, as a 2024 annual average, so the two establishment and employment counts differ.

The average approval of $309,251 sits well above the median of $56,000, pulled up by a few larger deals, so the median is the better guide to what a typical borrower here gets. Only 8.2 percent of approvals run on real estate terms, so SBA credit here is mostly working capital and equipment rather than property acquisition.

- Charge-off rate on resolved loans7.5 percent
- Status: Paid in full37
- Status: Exempt from disclosure114
- Status: Charged off3
- Status: Cancelled18
- Status: Committed, not yet disbursed11
Of the 40 loans that have reached a final outcome, 7.5 percent were charged off. This is computed only over resolved loans, because a loan still running has not yet succeeded or failed and counting it either way would be wrong.
Compare against the national and state SBA charge-off rates, computed the same way over resolved loans only.

New Philadelphia accounts for 37 approvals against 30 in Dover. County level figures average over that gap, which is why a site decision is made at the submarket rather than the county.
