Bacon County, not Alma
Bacon County context, not Alma figures
These are Bacon County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Alma measurements.
- Establishments in Bacon County230
- Employment at those establishments, Bacon County3,154
- Covered employment, Bacon County3,784
- Average annual pay, Bacon County$48,583
- Average weekly wage, Bacon County$934
- Housing units permitted, Bacon County0
- Of those, single family, Bacon County0
- County product, 2024, Bacon County$508,234,000
- County product change over the prior year, Bacon County1.7 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Bacon County$36,510
Every figure in this section is published for Bacon County as a whole and is not a measurement of Alma. 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.

$36,884. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $96,400. Median gross rent is $683 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Alma businesses?
9 7(a) approvals totalling $9.4 m, across 1 lenders, median approval $590,000, plus 4 504 approvals worth $4.6 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Alma, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Alma borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Alma. only 2 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 Alma in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Alma appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 130202, 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 Alma figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Bacon 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 Alma.
Is zoning published for Alma?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
