Somerset County, not Berlin
Somerset County context, not Berlin figures
These are Somerset County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Berlin measurements.
- Establishments in Somerset County1,647
- Employment at those establishments, Somerset County18,678
- Covered employment, Somerset County23,303
- Average annual pay, Somerset County$50,925
- Average weekly wage, Somerset County$979
- Housing units permitted, Somerset County72
- Of those, single family, Somerset County72
- County product, 2024, Somerset County$3,037,840,000
- County product change over the prior year, Somerset County2.0 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Somerset County$62,846
Every figure in this section is published for Somerset County as a whole and is not a measurement of Berlin. 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.

How much SBA lending goes to Berlin businesses?
2 7(a) approvals totalling $525,000, across 2 lenders, median approval $340,000. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Berlin, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Berlin borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Berlin. only 0 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 Berlin in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Berlin appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 422158, 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 Berlin figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Somerset 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 Berlin.
Is zoning published for Berlin?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
