Do SBA loans to Barrington borrowers get paid back?

Is Barrington in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Barrington appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as Barrington, village of, community 170057, 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 Barrington figures?
No, and they are labeled so.

They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Barrington.
Is zoning published for Barrington?
No. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
