Berks County, not Shillington
Berks County context, not Shillington 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 Shillington 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 Shillington. 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.

Do SBA loans to Shillington borrowers get paid back?

Is Shillington in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Shillington appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 420148, 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.

No, and they are labelled so.

They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Shillington.
Is zoning published for Shillington?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
