Westmoreland County, not Trafford
Westmoreland County context, not Trafford figures
These are Westmoreland County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Trafford measurements.
- Establishments in Westmoreland County8,428
- Employment at those establishments, Westmoreland County124,843
- Covered employment, Westmoreland County129,350
- Average annual pay, Westmoreland County$56,519
- Average weekly wage, Westmoreland County$1,087
- Housing units permitted, Westmoreland County414
- Of those, single family, Westmoreland County348
- County product, 2024, Westmoreland County$19,387,551,000
- County product change over the prior year, Westmoreland County2.4 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Westmoreland County$65,985
Every figure in this section is published for Westmoreland County as a whole and is not a measurement of Trafford. 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
Trafford questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Trafford, Pennsylvania?
3,216, in 1,413 households. Trafford borough covers 1.45 square miles of land, which is 2,224 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Trafford in?
Trafford lies in more than one. By area it is 83.6 percent in Westmoreland County, 16.4 percent in Allegheny County. This page sits under Westmoreland 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 Trafford?
$65,839. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $147,300. Median gross rent is $1,022 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Trafford businesses?
16 7(a) approvals totalling $2.3 m, across 5 lenders, median approval $100,000, plus 1 504 approvals worth $1.0 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Trafford, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Trafford borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Trafford. only 4 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 Trafford in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Trafford appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 420903, 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 Trafford figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Westmoreland 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 Trafford.
Is zoning published for Trafford?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
