Wayne County, not Honesdale
Wayne County context, not Honesdale figures
These are Wayne County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Honesdale measurements.
- Establishments in Wayne County1,355
- Employment at those establishments, Wayne County13,374
- Covered employment, Wayne County15,462
- Average annual pay, Wayne County$52,861
- Average weekly wage, Wayne County$1,017
- Housing units permitted, Wayne County175
- Of those, single family, Wayne County175
- County product, 2024, Wayne County$2,652,215,000
- County product change over the prior year, Wayne County4.4 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Wayne County$85,803
Every figure in this section is published for Wayne County as a whole and is not a measurement of Honesdale. 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 Honesdale businesses?
18 7(a) approvals totalling $7.6 m, across 10 lenders, median approval $212,000, plus 8 504 approvals worth $4.9 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Honesdale, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Honesdale borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Honesdale. 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 Honesdale in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Honesdale appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 420864, 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 Honesdale figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Wayne 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 Honesdale.
Is zoning published for Honesdale?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
