Do SBA loans to Sussex borrowers get paid back?

Is Sussex in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Sussex appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as Sussex, borough of, community 340457, 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 Sussex figures?
No, and they are labeled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Sussex 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 Sussex.
Is zoning published for Sussex?
No. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
