Do SBA loans to Union borrowers get paid back?

Is Union in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Union appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as Union, township of, community 340477, 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 Union figures?
No, and they are labeled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Union 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 Union.
Is zoning published for Union?
No. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
