Do SBA loans to Omaha borrowers get paid back?
Of the 169 loans that have reached a final outcome, 159 were paid in full and 10 charged off, a charge off rate of 5.9 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Omaha in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Omaha appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as Omaha, city of, community 315274, carrying Community Rating System class 7, 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 Omaha figures?
No, and they are labeled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Douglas 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 Omaha.
Is zoning published for Omaha?
No. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
