Maricopa County, not El Mirage
Maricopa County context, not El Mirage figures
These are Maricopa County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as El Mirage measurements.

- Employment at those establishments, Maricopa County2,016,986
- Covered employment, Maricopa County2,280,645
- Average annual pay, Maricopa County$73,840

Every figure in this section is published for Maricopa County as a whole and is not a measurement of El Mirage. 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.
- 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.

These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in El Mirage, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to El Mirage borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for El Mirage. only 1 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.
Is El Mirage in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. El Mirage appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 040041, 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 El Mirage figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Maricopa 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 El Mirage.
Is zoning published for El Mirage?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
