Do SBA loans to Bethel borrowers get paid back?

Is Bethel in the National Flood Insurance Program?
No, it is listed but not participating. Bethel appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as Bethel, city of, community 270905, 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 Bethel figures?
No, and they are labeled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Anoka 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 Bethel.
Is zoning published for Bethel?
No. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
