Delaware County, not Media
Delaware County context, not Media figures
These are Delaware County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Media measurements.
- Establishments in Delaware County13,165
- Employment at those establishments, Delaware County237,233
- Covered employment, Delaware County218,536
- Average annual pay, Delaware County$73,172
- Average weekly wage, Delaware County$1,407
- Housing units permitted, Delaware County281
- Of those, single family, Delaware County267
- County product, 2024, Delaware County$42,607,881,000
- County product change over the prior year, Delaware County3.4 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Delaware County$98,103
Every figure in this section is published for Delaware County as a whole and is not a measurement of Media. 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
Media questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Media, Pennsylvania?
5,870, in 3,049 households. Media borough covers 0.76 square miles of land, which is 7,696 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Media in?
Delaware 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 Media?
$89,092. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $467,800. Median gross rent is $1,411 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Media businesses?
65 7(a) approvals totalling $34.8 m, across 19 lenders, median approval $238,400, plus 6 504 approvals worth $7.4 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Media, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Media borrowers get paid back?
Of the 12 loans that have reached a final outcome, 12 were paid in full and 0 charged off, a charge off rate of 0.0 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Media in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Media appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 420421, 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 Media figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Delaware 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 Media.
Is zoning published for Media?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
