Mercer County, not Sharon
Mercer County context, not Sharon figures
These are Mercer County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Sharon measurements.
- Establishments in Mercer County2,611
- Employment at those establishments, Mercer County40,948
- Covered employment, Mercer County43,239
- Average annual pay, Mercer County$54,120
- Average weekly wage, Mercer County$1,041
- Housing units permitted, Mercer County76
- Of those, single family, Mercer County64
- County product, 2024, Mercer County$5,514,791,000
- County product change over the prior year, Mercer County4.2 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Mercer County$57,788
Every figure in this section is published for Mercer County as a whole and is not a measurement of Sharon. 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
Sharon questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Sharon, Pennsylvania?
12,936, in 6,155 households. Sharon city covers 3.77 square miles of land, which is 3,429 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Sharon in?
Mercer 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 Sharon?
$45,670. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $78,800. Median gross rent is $827 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Sharon businesses?
10 7(a) approvals totalling $1.4 m, across 5 lenders, median approval $100,000, plus 4 504 approvals worth $1.7 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Sharon, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Sharon borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Sharon. 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 Sharon in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Sharon appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 420678, 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 Sharon figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Mercer 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 Sharon.
Is zoning published for Sharon?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
