What county is Erie in?

These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Erie, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Erie borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Erie. Only 13 loans have reached a final outcome, fewer than the 30 a charge-off rate needs, so no rate is published. The counts are shown instead.
Is Erie in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Erie appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as Erie, town of, community 080181, 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 Erie figures?
No, and they are labeled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Weld 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 Erie.
Is zoning published for Erie?
No. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
