Clayton County, not Jonesboro
Clayton County context, not Jonesboro figures
These are Clayton County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Jonesboro measurements.
- Establishments in Clayton County4,115
- Employment at those establishments, Clayton County80,953
- Covered employment, Clayton County130,345
- Average annual pay, Clayton County$77,005
- Average weekly wage, Clayton County$1,481

- County product, 2024, Clayton County$26,281,522,000
- County product change over the prior year, Clayton County0.9 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Clayton County$36,001
Every figure in this section is published for Clayton County as a whole and is not a measurement of Jonesboro. 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.

How much SBA lending goes to Jonesboro businesses?
59 7(a) approvals totalling $44.7 m, across 28 lenders, median approval $350,000, plus 11 504 approvals worth $7.3 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Jonesboro, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Jonesboro borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Jonesboro. only 7 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 Jonesboro in the National Flood Insurance Program?
It is listed but not shown as participating. Jonesboro appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 130043, 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 Jonesboro figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Clayton 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 Jonesboro.
Is zoning published for Jonesboro?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
