Guilford County, not High Point
Guilford County context, not High Point 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 High Point 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 High Point. 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
High Point questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in High Point, North Carolina?
116,245, in 45,872 households. High Point city covers 57.45 square miles of land, which is 2,024 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is High Point in?
High Point lies in more than one. By area it is 94.2 percent in Guilford County, 4.2 percent in Davidson County. This page sits under Guilford County because that county holds the largest share. The split is measured from the Census boundary of the place against the county boundaries.
What is the median household income in High Point?
$64,561. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $235,800. Median gross rent is $1,116 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to High Point businesses?
95 7(a) approvals totalling $68.0 m, across 40 lenders, median approval $350,000, plus 23 504 approvals worth $30.2 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in High Point, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to High Point borrowers get paid back?
Of the 11 loans that have reached a final outcome, 10 were paid in full and 1 charged off, a charge off rate of 9.1 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is High Point in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. High Point appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 370113, 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 High Point 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 High Point.
Is zoning published for High Point?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
