Delaware County, not Norwood
Delaware County context, not Norwood 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 Norwood 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 Norwood. 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
Norwood questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Norwood, Pennsylvania?
5,934, in 2,203 households. Norwood borough covers 0.78 square miles of land, which is 7,629 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Norwood 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 Norwood?
$96,134. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $235,000. Median gross rent is $1,409 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Norwood businesses?
5 7(a) approvals totalling $585,000, across 3 lenders, median approval $15,000, plus 1 504 approvals worth $277,000. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Norwood, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Norwood borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Norwood. only 3 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 Norwood in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Norwood appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 420425, 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 Norwood 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 Norwood.
Is zoning published for Norwood?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
