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

- Employment at those establishments, DuPage County595,691
- Covered employment, DuPage County622,113
- Average annual pay, DuPage County$79,674

- Average income of an arriving household, DuPage County$102,362
Every figure in this section is published for DuPage County as a whole and is not a measurement of Carol Stream. 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

$102,309. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $335,000. Median gross rent is $1,529 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Carol Stream businesses?
86 7(a) approvals totalling $56.0 m, across 24 lenders, median approval $228,600, plus 41 504 approvals worth $50.7 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Carol Stream, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Carol Stream borrowers get paid back?
Of the 34 loans that have reached a final outcome, 33 were paid in full and 1 charged off, a charge off rate of 2.9 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Carol Stream in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Carol Stream appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 170202, 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 Carol Stream figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for DuPage 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 Carol Stream.
Is zoning published for Carol Stream?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
