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

- Covered employment, Granville County20,301
- Average annual pay, Granville County$59,314

Every figure in this section is published for Granville County as a whole and is not a measurement of Stem. 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 Stem businesses?
2 7(a) approvals totalling $2.1 m, across 2 lenders, median approval $1,950,000. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Stem, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Stem borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Stem. only 0 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 Stem in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Stem appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 370109, 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 Stem figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Granville 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 Stem.
Is zoning published for Stem?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
