These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Section, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Section borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Section. Only 1 loan has reached a final outcome, fewer than the 30 a charge-off rate needs, so no rate is published. The counts are shown instead.
Is Section in the National Flood Insurance Program?
No, it is listed but not participating. Section appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as Section, town of, community 010362, 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 Section figures?
No, and they are labeled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Jackson 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 Section.
Is zoning published for Section?
No. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
