Grady County, not Cairo
Grady County context, not Cairo figures
These are Grady County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Cairo measurements.
- Establishments in Grady County451
- Employment at those establishments, Grady County4,786
- Covered employment, Grady County5,899
- Average annual pay, Grady County$45,151
- Average weekly wage, Grady County$868
- Housing units permitted, Grady County58
- Of those, single family, Grady County58
- County product, 2024, Grady County$873,867,000
- County product change over the prior year, Grady County2.9 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Grady County$44,607
Every figure in this section is published for Grady County as a whole and is not a measurement of Cairo. 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
Cairo questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Cairo, Georgia?
10,055, in 3,530 households. Cairo city covers 9.82 square miles of land, which is 1,024 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Cairo in?
Grady 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 Cairo?
$40,920. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $108,800. Median gross rent is $778 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Cairo businesses?
8 7(a) approvals totalling $12.1 m, across 6 lenders, median approval $1,502,000, plus 4 504 approvals worth $2.3 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Cairo, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Cairo borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Cairo. 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 Cairo in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Cairo appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 130097, 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 Cairo figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Grady 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 Cairo.
Is zoning published for Cairo?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
