Berks County, not Mount Penn
Berks County context, not Mount Penn figures
These are Berks County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Mount Penn measurements.
- Establishments in Berks County8,521
- Employment at those establishments, Berks County172,167
- Covered employment, Berks County173,692
- Average annual pay, Berks County$63,608
- Average weekly wage, Berks County$1,223
- Housing units permitted, Berks County397
- Of those, single family, Berks County214
- County product, 2024, Berks County$26,580,119,000
- County product change over the prior year, Berks County4.7 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Berks County$62,310
Every figure in this section is published for Berks County as a whole and is not a measurement of Mount Penn. 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.
- This place is not listed as a community in the FEMA Community Status Book, so no NFIP participation or CRS class is shown.
- 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.
