Mitchell County, not Pelham
Mitchell County context, not Pelham figures
These are Mitchell County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Pelham measurements.

- Covered employment, Mitchell County6,477
- Average annual pay, Mitchell County$45,455

- Average income of an arriving household, Mitchell County$36,186
Every figure in this section is published for Mitchell County as a whole and is not a measurement of Pelham. 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.

These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Pelham, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Pelham borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Pelham. only 0 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 Pelham in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Pelham appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 130437, 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 Pelham figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Mitchell 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 Pelham.
Is zoning published for Pelham?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
