Brunswick County, not Southport
Brunswick County context, not Southport figures
These are Brunswick County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Southport measurements.
- Establishments in Brunswick County3,093
- Employment at those establishments, Brunswick County33,646
- Covered employment, Brunswick County41,268
- Average annual pay, Brunswick County$51,701
- Average weekly wage, Brunswick County$994
- Housing units permitted, Brunswick County6,093
- Of those, single family, Brunswick County5,099
- County product, 2024, Brunswick County$8,081,360,000
- County product change over the prior year, Brunswick County3.9 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Brunswick County$109,448
Every figure in this section is published for Brunswick County as a whole and is not a measurement of Southport. 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.
- 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.
Common questions

Brunswick County, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.

$87,641. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $437,700. Median gross rent is $1,426 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Southport businesses?
18 7(a) approvals totalling $9.9 m, across 16 lenders, median approval $417,600, plus 2 504 approvals worth $905,000. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Southport, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Southport borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Southport. only 5 resolved loans, too few to publish a rate, and a percentage over that few outcomes would move several points on a single loan. The counts are shown instead.
Is Southport in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Southport appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 370028, carrying Community Rating System class 7, which is a premium discount for exceeding the programme minimum. 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 Southport figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Brunswick 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 Southport.
Is zoning published for Southport?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
