This is a small place, and the figures below carry wide margins.
The American Community Survey reaches Grandfather Village through a sample, not a count, and in a place this size that sample is thin. The population estimate here is 14 with a margin of error of plus or minus 15, which is 107.1 percent of the estimate itself. Every figure whose margin reaches 20 percent is printed with that margin beside it, so you can see the width of each one rather than having to assume it. Because the margin here exceeds the estimate, this page shows its strongest sections only rather than a full profile.
Nothing has been removed or adjusted. These are the published federal estimates, shown with the uncertainty the Census publishes alongside them.

Avery County, not Grandfather Village
Avery County context, not Grandfather Village figures
These are Avery County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Grandfather Village measurements.

Every figure in this section is published for Avery County as a whole and is not a measurement of Grandfather Village. 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.
- No SBA approvals are recorded to a borrower address in this place in either FOIA release.
- No median gross rent is published for this place.
- 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.

Is Grandfather Village in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Grandfather Village appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 370686, 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.

They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Grandfather Village.
Is zoning published for Grandfather Village?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
