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 totaling $418.8 m since FY2020, across 81 lenders, median approval $190,000, plus 142 504 approvals worth $97.9 m since FY2010. 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 labeled 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?
No. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
