Dauphin County, not Halifax
Dauphin County context, not Halifax figures
These are Dauphin County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Halifax measurements.
- Establishments in Dauphin County6,951
- Employment at those establishments, Dauphin County157,994
- Covered employment, Dauphin County190,296
- Average annual pay, Dauphin County$68,012
- Average weekly wage, Dauphin County$1,308
- Housing units permitted, Dauphin County499
- Of those, single family, Dauphin County287
- County product, 2024, Dauphin County$28,909,442,000
- County product change over the prior year, Dauphin County4.5 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Dauphin County$56,269
Every figure in this section is published for Dauphin County as a whole and is not a measurement of Halifax. 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
Halifax questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Halifax, Pennsylvania?
515, in 247 households. Halifax borough covers 0.34 square miles of land, which is 1,535 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Halifax in?
Dauphin 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 Halifax?
$53,472. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $202,200. Median gross rent is $904 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Halifax businesses?
7 7(a) approvals totalling $4.2 m, across 6 lenders, median approval $232,000. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Halifax, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Halifax borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Halifax. 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 Halifax in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Halifax appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 420379, 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 Halifax figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Dauphin 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 Halifax.
Is zoning published for Halifax?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
