Union County, not Buffalo
Union County context, not Buffalo figures
These are Union County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Buffalo measurements.
- Establishments in Union County418
- Employment at those establishments, Union County5,632
- Covered employment, Union County7,424
- Average annual pay, Union County$48,510
- Average weekly wage, Union County$933
- Housing units permitted, Union County101
- Of those, single family, Union County101
- County product, 2024, Union County$904,840,000
- County product change over the prior year, Union County5.3 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Union County$40,113
Every figure in this section is published for Union County as a whole and is not a measurement of Buffalo. 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.
- This place is not listed as a community in the FEMA Community Status Book, so no NFIP participation or CRS class is shown.
- No median gross rent is published for this place.
- 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 zoning published for Buffalo?
