York County, not New Salem
York County context, not New Salem figures
These are York County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as New Salem measurements.
- Establishments in York County8,840
- Employment at those establishments, York County176,202
- Covered employment, York County182,614
- Average annual pay, York County$62,427
- Average weekly wage, York County$1,201
- Housing units permitted, York County1,335
- Of those, single family, York County952
- County product, 2024, York County$28,433,485,000
- County product change over the prior year, York County4.1 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, York County$62,924
Every figure in this section is published for York County as a whole and is not a measurement of New Salem. 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.
- No SBA approvals are recorded to a borrower address in this place in either FOIA release.
- 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.

Is New Salem in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. New Salem appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 422743, 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 New Salem figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for York 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 New Salem.
Is zoning published for New Salem?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
