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

- Employment at those establishments, Jefferson County470,153
- Covered employment, Jefferson County482,313
- Average annual pay, Jefferson County$71,280

Every figure in this section is published for Jefferson County as a whole and is not a measurement of Louisville. 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.
- This place is not listed as a community in the FEMA Community Status Book, so no NFIP participation or CRS class is shown.
- The American Community Survey does not publish a median household income for this place, which happens where the sample is too small to support one.
- No median owner-occupied home value is published for this place.
- No median gross rent is published for this place.
- 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
Louisville questions, answered from the record.
What county is Louisville in?
Jefferson County, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.
How much SBA lending goes to Louisville businesses?
795 7(a) approvals totalling $418.8 m, across 81 lenders, median approval $190,000, plus 142 504 approvals worth $97.9 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Louisville, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Louisville borrowers get paid back?
Of the 177 loans that have reached a final outcome, 169 were paid in full and 8 charged off, a charge off rate of 4.5 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Are the county figures on this page Louisville figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Jefferson 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 Louisville.
Is zoning published for Louisville?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
