Lackawanna County, not Moscow
Lackawanna County context, not Moscow figures
These are Lackawanna County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Moscow measurements.
- Establishments in Lackawanna County5,198
- Employment at those establishments, Lackawanna County91,059
- Covered employment, Lackawanna County98,108
- Average annual pay, Lackawanna County$53,720
- Average weekly wage, Lackawanna County$1,033
- Housing units permitted, Lackawanna County250
- Of those, single family, Lackawanna County204

- County product change over the prior year, Lackawanna County4.0 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Lackawanna County$57,737
Every figure in this section is published for Lackawanna County as a whole and is not a measurement of Moscow. 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
Moscow questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Moscow, Pennsylvania?
1,798, in 765 households. Moscow borough covers 2.85 square miles of land, which is 631 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Moscow in?
Lackawanna 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 Moscow?
$82,031. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $307,000. Median gross rent is $950 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Moscow businesses?
9 7(a) approvals totalling $1.9 m, across 7 lenders, median approval $100,000. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Moscow, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Moscow borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Moscow. 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 Moscow in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Moscow appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 420534, 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 Moscow figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Lackawanna 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 Moscow.
Is zoning published for Moscow?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
