St. Lucie County, not Port St. Lucie
St. Lucie County context, not Port St. Lucie figures
These are St. Lucie County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Port St. Lucie measurements.
- Establishments in St. Lucie County7,292
- Employment at those establishments, St. Lucie County74,865
- Covered employment, St. Lucie County90,334
- Average annual pay, St. Lucie County$53,238

Every figure in this section is published for St. Lucie County as a whole and is not a measurement of Port St. Lucie. 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.
Common questions

$80,648. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $369,200. Median gross rent is $1,937 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Port St. Lucie businesses?
256 7(a) approvals totalling $122.3 m, across 62 lenders, median approval $180,000, plus 42 504 approvals worth $39.0 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Port St. Lucie, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Port St. Lucie borrowers get paid back?
Of the 32 loans that have reached a final outcome, 26 were paid in full and 6 charged off, a charge off rate of 18.8 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Port St. Lucie in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Port St. Lucie appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 120287, carrying Community Rating System class 5, which is a premium discount for exceeding the programme minimum. 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 Port St. Lucie figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for St. Lucie 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 Port St. Lucie.
Is zoning published for Port St. Lucie?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
