Yes. Greensboro appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as Greensboro, city of, community 375351, carrying Community Rating System class 7, which is a premium discount for exceeding the program minimum. Whether a specific parcel sits in a mapped special flood hazard area is an address level question the platform answers.

No, and they are labeled 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?
No. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
