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

- Employment at those establishments, Carroll County53,981
- Covered employment, Carroll County59,195
- Average annual pay, Carroll County$57,405
- Average weekly wage, Carroll County$1,104

- County product, 2024, Carroll County$8,877,387,000
- County product change over the prior year, Carroll County5.8 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Carroll County$86,366
Every figure in this section is published for Carroll County as a whole and is not a measurement of Mount Airy. 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.
- 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.

What county is Mount Airy in?
Mount Airy lies in more than one. By area it is 66.5 percent in Carroll County, 33.5 percent in Frederick County. This page sits under Carroll County because that county holds the largest share. The split is measured from the Census boundary of the place against the county boundaries.

$151,324. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $487,400. Median gross rent is $1,854 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.

These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Mount Airy, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Mount Airy borrowers get paid back?
Of the 11 loans that have reached a final outcome, 10 were paid in full and 1 charged off, a charge off rate of 9.1 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Are the county figures on this page Mount Airy figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Carroll 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 Mount Airy.
Is zoning published for Mount Airy?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
