These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Kansas City, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Kansas City borrowers get paid back?
Of the 94 loans that have reached a final outcome, 86 were paid in full and 8 charged off, a charge off rate of 8.5 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Kansas City in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Kansas City appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as Kansas City, city of, community 290173, carrying Community Rating System class 8, which is a premium discount for exceeding the program minimum. 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 Kansas City figures?
No, and they are labeled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Jackson 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 Kansas City.
Is zoning published for Kansas City?
No. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
