- Employment at those establishments190,853

- Establishments per 1,000 residents21.9
These are counts of establishments physically operating in the county, not listings, so they are the supply side a feasibility study measures demand against. County Business Patterns counts private establishments with paid employees in March 2023, while the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages above counts every unemployment-insured employer, public ones included, as a 2024 annual average, so the two establishment and employment counts differ.

The average approval of $574,925 sits well above the median of $200,000, pulled up by a few larger deals, so the median is the better guide to what a typical borrower here gets. Only 19.5 percent of approvals run on real estate terms, so SBA credit here is mostly working capital and equipment rather than property acquisition.

SBA loan default and charge-off rates in Camden County
Do SBA loans in Camden County get paid back?
- Loans with a final outcome recorded132
- Paid in full108
- Charged off24
- Charge-off rate on resolved loans18.2 percent
- Status: Charged off24
- Status: Paid in full108
- Status: Exempt from disclosure440
- Status: Cancelled122
- Status: Committed, not yet disbursed50
Of the 132 loans that have reached a final outcome, 18.2 percent were charged off. This is computed only over resolved loans, because a loan still running has not yet succeeded or failed and counting it either way would be wrong.
Compare against the national and state SBA charge-off rates, computed the same way over resolved loans only.
