Pierce County, not Milton
Pierce County context, not Milton figures
These are Pierce County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Milton measurements.
- Establishments in Pierce County20,051
- Employment at those establishments, Pierce County294,765
- Covered employment, Pierce County333,492
- Average annual pay, Pierce County$70,395
- Average weekly wage, Pierce County$1,354
- Housing units permitted, Pierce County3,207
- Of those, single family, Pierce County1,731
- County product, 2024, Pierce County$64,941,171,000
- County product change over the prior year, Pierce County5.7 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Pierce County$76,649
Every figure in this section is published for Pierce County as a whole and is not a measurement of Milton. 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.
- This place is not listed as a community in the FEMA Community Status Book, so no NFIP participation or CRS class is shown.
- 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
Milton questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Milton, Washington?

What county is Milton in?
Milton lies in more than one. By area it is 77.6 percent in Pierce County, 22.4 percent in King County. This page sits under Pierce 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 Milton?
$96,540. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $539,700. Median gross rent is $2,199 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Milton businesses?
20 7(a) approvals totalling $8.5 m, across 12 lenders, median approval $275,000, plus 1 504 approvals worth $184,000. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Milton, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Milton borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Milton. only 6 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.
Are the county figures on this page Milton figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Pierce 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 Milton.
Is zoning published for Milton?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
