Bradford County, not Canton
Bradford County context, not Canton figures
These are Bradford County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Canton measurements.
- Establishments in Bradford County1,334
- Employment at those establishments, Bradford County18,842
- Covered employment, Bradford County22,333
- Average annual pay, Bradford County$60,112
- Average weekly wage, Bradford County$1,156
- Housing units permitted, Bradford County92
- Of those, single family, Bradford County77
- County product, 2024, Bradford County$6,798,065,000
- County product change over the prior year, Bradford County8.2 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Bradford County$57,088
Every figure in this section is published for Bradford County as a whole and is not a measurement of Canton. 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 Canton borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Canton. only 1 resolved loans, too few to publish a rate, and a percentage over that few outcomes would move several points on a single loan. The counts are shown instead.
Is Canton in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Canton appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 420169, 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 Canton figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Bradford 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 Canton.
Is zoning published for Canton?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
