Belknap County, not Laconia
Belknap County context, not Laconia figures
These are Belknap County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Laconia measurements.
- Establishments in Belknap County1,905
- Employment at those establishments, Belknap County21,197
- Covered employment, Belknap County25,854
- Average annual pay, Belknap County$56,999
- Average weekly wage, Belknap County$1,096
- Housing units permitted, Belknap County282

- County product change over the prior year, Belknap County7.6 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Belknap County$135,052
Every figure in this section is published for Belknap County as a whole and is not a measurement of Laconia. 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.
- This place is not listed as a community in the FEMA Community Status Book, so no NFIP participation or CRS class is shown.
- 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 Laconia businesses?
42 7(a) approvals totalling $12.5 m, across 19 lenders, median approval $60,000, plus 14 504 approvals worth $5.5 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Laconia, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Laconia borrowers get paid back?
Of the 10 loans that have reached a final outcome, 9 were paid in full and 1 charged off, a charge off rate of 10.0 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Are the county figures on this page Laconia figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Belknap 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 Laconia.
Is zoning published for Laconia?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
