Midland County, not Sanford
Midland County context, not Sanford figures
These are Midland County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Sanford measurements.
- Establishments in Midland County1,795
- Employment at those establishments, Midland County37,324
- Covered employment, Midland County38,288
- Average annual pay, Midland County$72,021
- Average weekly wage, Midland County$1,385
- Housing units permitted, Midland County314
- Of those, single family, Midland County104
- County product, 2024, Midland County$7,778,569,000
- County product change over the prior year, Midland County3.3 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Midland County$76,469
Every figure in this section is published for Midland County as a whole and is not a measurement of Sanford. 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.
- 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.

How much SBA lending goes to Sanford businesses?
6 7(a) approvals totalling $539,000, across 2 lenders, median approval $50,000, plus 1 504 approvals worth $184,000. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Sanford, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Sanford borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Sanford. only 0 resolved loans, too few to publish a rate, and a percentage over that few outcomes would move several points on a single loan. The counts are shown instead.
Is Sanford in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Sanford appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 260859, 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 Sanford figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Midland 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 Sanford.
Is zoning published for Sanford?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
