Racine County, not Burlington
Racine County context, not Burlington figures
These are Racine County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Burlington measurements.
- Establishments in Racine County4,114
- Employment at those establishments, Racine County69,594
- Covered employment, Racine County76,342
- Average annual pay, Racine County$61,150
- Average weekly wage, Racine County$1,176
- Housing units permitted, Racine County277
- Of those, single family, Racine County163
- County product, 2024, Racine County$11,724,471,000
- County product change over the prior year, Racine County4.6 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Racine County$62,699
Every figure in this section is published for Racine County as a whole and is not a measurement of Burlington. 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
Burlington questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Burlington, Wisconsin?
10,987, in 4,626 households. Burlington city covers 7.72 square miles of land, which is 1,422 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Burlington in?
Burlington lies in more than one. By area it is 96.9 percent in Racine County, 3.1 percent in Walworth County. This page sits under Racine 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 Burlington?
$83,419. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $276,600. Median gross rent is $999 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Burlington businesses?
64 7(a) approvals totalling $29.3 m, across 20 lenders, median approval $150,000, plus 20 504 approvals worth $16.4 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Burlington, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Burlington borrowers get paid back?
Of the 16 loans that have reached a final outcome, 14 were paid in full and 2 charged off, a charge off rate of 12.5 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Are the county figures on this page Burlington figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Racine 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 Burlington.
Is zoning published for Burlington?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
