Do SBA loans to Granger borrowers get paid back?

Is Granger in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Granger appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as Granger, city of, community 190104, 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 Granger figures?
No, and they are labeled so.

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