Western Connecticut Planning Region, not Stamford
Western Connecticut Planning Region context, not Stamford figures
These are Western Connecticut Planning Region figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Stamford measurements.

- Employment at those establishments, Western Connecticut Planning Region292,288
- Covered employment, Western Connecticut Planning Region287,189
- Average annual pay, Western Connecticut Planning Region$129,052

Every figure in this section is published for Western Connecticut Planning Region as a whole and is not a measurement of Stamford. 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

How much SBA lending goes to Stamford businesses?
185 7(a) approvals totalling $92.7 m, across 48 lenders, median approval $185,000, plus 30 504 approvals worth $28.2 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Stamford, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Stamford borrowers get paid back?
Of the 26 loans that have reached a final outcome, 23 were paid in full and 3 charged off, a charge off rate of 11.5 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Are the county figures on this page Stamford figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Western Connecticut Planning Region 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 Stamford.
Is zoning published for Stamford?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
