Allegheny County, not Carnegie
Allegheny County context, not Carnegie figures
These are Allegheny County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Carnegie measurements.
- Establishments in Allegheny County33,812
- Employment at those establishments, Allegheny County709,774
- Covered employment, Allegheny County670,637
- Average annual pay, Allegheny County$78,297
- Average weekly wage, Allegheny County$1,506
- Housing units permitted, Allegheny County2,999
- Of those, single family, Allegheny County1,356
- County product, 2024, Allegheny County$132,891,899,000
- County product change over the prior year, Allegheny County4.4 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Allegheny County$88,274
Every figure in this section is published for Allegheny County as a whole and is not a measurement of Carnegie. 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
Carnegie questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Carnegie, Pennsylvania?
7,978, in 4,217 households. Carnegie borough covers 1.62 square miles of land, which is 4,923 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Carnegie in?
Allegheny 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 Carnegie?
$67,656. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $171,500. Median gross rent is $890 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Carnegie businesses?
59 7(a) approvals totalling $15.4 m, across 14 lenders, median approval $150,000, plus 5 504 approvals worth $2.9 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Carnegie, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Carnegie borrowers get paid back?
Of the 14 loans that have reached a final outcome, 13 were paid in full and 1 charged off, a charge off rate of 7.1 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Carnegie in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Carnegie appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 420019, 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 Carnegie figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Allegheny 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 Carnegie.
Is zoning published for Carnegie?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
