Do SBA loans to Flint borrowers get paid back?
Of the 40 loans that have reached a final outcome, 28 were paid in full and 12 charged off, a charge off rate of 30.0 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Flint in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Flint appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as Flint, city of, community 260076, 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 Flint figures?
No, and they are labeled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Genesee 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 Flint.
Is zoning published for Flint?
No. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
