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

- Employment at those establishments, Chowan County4,343
- Covered employment, Chowan County5,071
- Average annual pay, Chowan County$49,249
- Average weekly wage, Chowan County$947

- County product, 2024, Chowan County$723,036,000
- County product change over the prior year, Chowan County0.3 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Chowan County$70,595
Every figure in this section is published for Chowan County as a whole and is not a measurement of Edenton. 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.

These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Edenton, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Edenton borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Edenton. only 2 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 Edenton in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Edenton appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 370062, 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 Edenton figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Chowan 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 Edenton.
Is zoning published for Edenton?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
