Gaston County, not Stanley
Gaston County context, not Stanley figures
These are Gaston County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Stanley measurements.
- Establishments in Gaston County4,594
- Employment at those establishments, Gaston County72,268
- Covered employment, Gaston County79,486
- Average annual pay, Gaston County$54,211
- Average weekly wage, Gaston County$1,043
- Housing units permitted, Gaston County2,069
- Of those, single family, Gaston County1,923
- County product, 2024, Gaston County$11,264,313,000
- County product change over the prior year, Gaston County6.8 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Gaston County$62,249
Every figure in this section is published for Gaston County as a whole and is not a measurement of Stanley. 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.

How much SBA lending goes to Stanley businesses?

These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Stanley, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Stanley borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Stanley. only 3 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 Stanley in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Stanley appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 370527, 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 Stanley figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Gaston 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 Stanley.
Is zoning published for Stanley?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
