Washington County, not Hartford
Washington County context, not Hartford figures
These are Washington County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Hartford measurements.
- Establishments in Washington County3,427
- Employment at those establishments, Washington County54,404
- Covered employment, Washington County58,417
- Average annual pay, Washington County$58,316
- Average weekly wage, Washington County$1,121
- Housing units permitted, Washington County447
- Of those, single family, Washington County278
- County product, 2024, Washington County$9,202,250,000
- County product change over the prior year, Washington County5.3 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Washington County$77,516
Every figure in this section is published for Washington County as a whole and is not a measurement of Hartford. 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
Hartford questions, answered from the record.

What county is Hartford in?
Hartford lies in more than one. By area it is 93.8 percent in Washington County, 6.2 percent in Dodge County. This page sits under Washington 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 Hartford?
$82,014. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $297,100. Median gross rent is $1,110 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Hartford businesses?
35 7(a) approvals totalling $26.8 m, across 17 lenders, median approval $485,000, plus 11 504 approvals worth $4.6 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Hartford, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Hartford borrowers get paid back?
Of the 13 loans that have reached a final outcome, 13 were paid in full and 0 charged off, a charge off rate of 0.0 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Are the county figures on this page Hartford figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Washington 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 Hartford.
Is zoning published for Hartford?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
