Cumberland County, not Fayetteville
Cumberland County context, not Fayetteville figures
These are Cumberland County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Fayetteville measurements.
- Establishments in Cumberland County5,947
- Employment at those establishments, Cumberland County98,142
- Covered employment, Cumberland County122,995
- Average annual pay, Cumberland County$55,785
- Average weekly wage, Cumberland County$1,073
- Housing units permitted, Cumberland County1,230
- Of those, single family, Cumberland County1,030
- County product, 2024, Cumberland County$24,444,527,000
- County product change over the prior year, Cumberland County5.6 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Cumberland County$47,329
Every figure in this section is published for Cumberland County as a whole and is not a measurement of Fayetteville. 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
Fayetteville questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Fayetteville, North Carolina?
210,815, in 82,689 households. Fayetteville city covers 148.27 square miles of land, which is 1,422 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.

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

$58,407. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $188,000. Median gross rent is $1,250 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Fayetteville businesses?
154 7(a) approvals totalling $129.9 m, across 56 lenders, median approval $365,000, plus 19 504 approvals worth $11.1 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Fayetteville, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Fayetteville borrowers get paid back?
Of the 23 loans that have reached a final outcome, 20 were paid in full and 3 charged off, a charge off rate of 13.0 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Fayetteville in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Fayetteville appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 370077, 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 Fayetteville figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Cumberland 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 Fayetteville.
Is zoning published for Fayetteville?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
