Mobile County, not Theodore
Mobile County context, not Theodore figures
These are Mobile County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Theodore measurements.
- Establishments in Mobile County8,960
- Employment at those establishments, Mobile County157,810
- Covered employment, Mobile County175,327
- Average annual pay, Mobile County$61,700
- Average weekly wage, Mobile County$1,187
- Housing units permitted, Mobile County1,715
- Of those, single family, Mobile County1,377
- County product, 2024, Mobile County$30,122,670,000
- County product change over the prior year, Mobile County4.9 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Mobile County$54,134
Every figure in this section is published for Mobile County as a whole and is not a measurement of Theodore. 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.

How much SBA lending goes to Theodore businesses?
19 7(a) approvals totalling $12.0 m, across 11 lenders, median approval $350,000, plus 9 504 approvals worth $2.6 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Theodore, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Theodore borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Theodore. 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 Theodore figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Mobile 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 Theodore.
Is zoning published for Theodore?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
