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

- Employment at those establishments, Burke County24,509
- Covered employment, Burke County29,553
- Average annual pay, Burke County$48,986

Every figure in this section is published for Burke County as a whole and is not a measurement of Glen Alpine. 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.
- 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 Glen Alpine in the National Flood Insurance Program?
