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

- Employment at those establishments, Alachua County103,368
- Covered employment, Alachua County139,023
- Average annual pay, Alachua County$63,829

- County product change over the prior year, Alachua County5.6 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Alachua County$68,084
Every figure in this section is published for Alachua County as a whole and is not a measurement of High Springs. 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 High Springs, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to High Springs borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for High Springs. only 3 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 High Springs in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. High Springs appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 120669, 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 High Springs figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Alachua 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 High Springs.
Is zoning published for High Springs?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
