Guilford County, not Greensboro
Guilford County context, not Greensboro figures
These are Guilford County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Greensboro measurements.
- Establishments in Guilford County14,306
- Employment at those establishments, Guilford County265,517
- Covered employment, Guilford County287,996
- Average annual pay, Guilford County$61,546
- Average weekly wage, Guilford County$1,184
- Housing units permitted, Guilford County3,843
- Of those, single family, Guilford County1,440
- County product, 2024, Guilford County$46,944,911,000
- County product change over the prior year, Guilford County5.5 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Guilford County$60,050
Every figure in this section is published for Guilford County as a whole and is not a measurement of Greensboro. 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
Greensboro questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Greensboro, North Carolina?
301,198, in 123,984 households. Greensboro city covers 134.29 square miles of land, which is 2,243 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Greensboro in?
Guilford County, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.
What is the median household income in Greensboro?
$61,515. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $244,800. Median gross rent is $1,172 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Greensboro businesses?
275 7(a) approvals totalling $214.3 m, across 65 lenders, median approval $389,000, plus 60 504 approvals worth $47.4 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Greensboro, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Greensboro borrowers get paid back?
Of the 44 loans that have reached a final outcome, 42 were paid in full and 2 charged off, a charge off rate of 4.5 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Greensboro in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Greensboro appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 375351, 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 Greensboro figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Guilford 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 Greensboro.
Is zoning published for Greensboro?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
