Washington County, not McDonald
Washington County context, not McDonald figures
These are Washington County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as McDonald measurements.
- Establishments in Washington County5,340
- Employment at those establishments, Washington County84,410
- Covered employment, Washington County87,434
- Average annual pay, Washington County$72,319
- Average weekly wage, Washington County$1,391
- Housing units permitted, Washington County450
- Of those, single family, Washington County415
- County product, 2024, Washington County$18,671,970,000
- County product change over the prior year, Washington County3.0 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Washington County$78,911
Every figure in this section is published for Washington County as a whole and is not a measurement of McDonald. 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
McDonald questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in McDonald, Pennsylvania?
2,065, in 989 households. McDonald borough covers 0.52 square miles of land, which is 3,983 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is McDonald in?
McDonald lies in more than one. By area it is 61.8 percent in Washington County, 38.2 percent in Allegheny County. This page sits under Washington County because that county holds the largest share. The split is measured from the Census boundary of the place against the county boundaries.
What is the median household income in McDonald?
$65,625. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $165,100. Median gross rent is $858 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to McDonald businesses?
25 7(a) approvals totalling $8.3 m, across 5 lenders, median approval $54,200, plus 2 504 approvals worth $1.3 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in McDonald, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to McDonald borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for McDonald. only 7 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 McDonald in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. McDonald appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 420855, 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 McDonald figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Washington 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 McDonald.
Is zoning published for McDonald?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
