Fulton County, not Alpharetta
Fulton County context, not Alpharetta figures
These are Fulton County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Alpharetta measurements.
- Establishments in Fulton County40,949
- Employment at those establishments, Fulton County928,068
- Covered employment, Fulton County948,157
- Average annual pay, Fulton County$100,817
- Average weekly wage, Fulton County$1,939
- Housing units permitted, Fulton County11,577
- Of those, single family, Fulton County2,937

- County product change over the prior year, Fulton County5.9 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Fulton County$98,836
Every figure in this section is published for Fulton County as a whole and is not a measurement of Alpharetta. 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
Alpharetta questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Alpharetta, Georgia?
66,855, in 25,032 households. Alpharetta city covers 26.90 square miles of land, which is 2,485 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Alpharetta in?
Fulton County, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.
What is the median household income in Alpharetta?
$147,612. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $649,000. Median gross rent is $1,948 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Alpharetta businesses?
488 7(a) approvals totalling $361.5 m, across 103 lenders, median approval $350,000, plus 107 504 approvals worth $86.4 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Alpharetta, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Alpharetta borrowers get paid back?
Of the 87 loans that have reached a final outcome, 84 were paid in full and 3 charged off, a charge off rate of 3.4 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Alpharetta in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Alpharetta appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 130084, 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 Alpharetta figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Fulton 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 Alpharetta.
Is zoning published for Alpharetta?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
