Spalding County, not Griffin
Spalding County context, not Griffin figures
These are Spalding County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Griffin measurements.
- Establishments in Spalding County1,240
- Employment at those establishments, Spalding County17,205
- Covered employment, Spalding County23,477
- Average annual pay, Spalding County$49,873
- Average weekly wage, Spalding County$959
- Housing units permitted, Spalding County342
- Of those, single family, Spalding County342
- County product, 2024, Spalding County$3,094,013,000
- County product change over the prior year, Spalding County4.6 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Spalding County$51,188
Every figure in this section is published for Spalding County as a whole and is not a measurement of Griffin. 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
Griffin questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Griffin, Georgia?
23,761, in 9,538 households. Griffin city covers 14.05 square miles of land, which is 1,692 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Griffin in?
Spalding 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 Griffin?
$43,632. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $220,900. Median gross rent is $1,110 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Griffin businesses?
47 7(a) approvals totalling $44.7 m, across 26 lenders, median approval $549,600, plus 15 504 approvals worth $17.0 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Griffin, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Griffin borrowers get paid back?
Of the 10 loans that have reached a final outcome, 9 were paid in full and 1 charged off, a charge off rate of 10.0 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Griffin in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Griffin appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 130165, carrying Community Rating System class 6, 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 Griffin figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Spalding 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 Griffin.
Is zoning published for Griffin?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
