Glynn County, not Jekyll Island
Glynn County context, not Jekyll Island figures
These are Glynn County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Jekyll Island measurements.
- Establishments in Glynn County2,787
- Employment at those establishments, Glynn County31,594
- Covered employment, Glynn County42,456
- Average annual pay, Glynn County$53,989
- Average weekly wage, Glynn County$1,038
- Housing units permitted, Glynn County734

- County product change over the prior year, Glynn County7.1 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Glynn County$100,570
Every figure in this section is published for Glynn County as a whole and is not a measurement of Jekyll Island. 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.
- The American Community Survey does not publish a median household income for this place, which happens where the sample is too small to support one.
- No median gross rent is published for this place.
- 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
Jekyll Island questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Jekyll Island, Georgia?
769, in 539 households. Jekyll Island CDP covers 8.99 square miles of land, which is 86 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Jekyll Island in?
Glynn County, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.
How much SBA lending goes to Jekyll Island businesses?
1 7(a) approvals totalling $2.9 m, across 1 lenders, median approval $2,925,000. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Jekyll Island, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Jekyll Island borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Jekyll Island. only 1 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 Jekyll Island in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Jekyll Island appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 130201, 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 Jekyll Island figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Glynn 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 Jekyll Island.
Is zoning published for Jekyll Island?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
