Butler County, not Slippery Rock
Butler County context, not Slippery Rock figures
These are Butler County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Slippery Rock measurements.
- Establishments in Butler County5,083
- Employment at those establishments, Butler County86,610
- Covered employment, Butler County88,461
- Average annual pay, Butler County$65,579
- Average weekly wage, Butler County$1,261
- Housing units permitted, Butler County976
- Of those, single family, Butler County946
- County product, 2024, Butler County$14,517,627,000
- County product change over the prior year, Butler County4.4 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Butler County$96,546
Every figure in this section is published for Butler County as a whole and is not a measurement of Slippery Rock. 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.

These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Slippery Rock, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Slippery Rock borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Slippery Rock. only 2 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 Slippery Rock in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Slippery Rock appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 420222, 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 Slippery Rock figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Butler 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 Slippery Rock.
Is zoning published for Slippery Rock?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
