Guilford County, not Oak Ridge
Guilford County context, not Oak Ridge 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 Oak Ridge measurements.

- 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 Oak Ridge. 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.

Do SBA loans to Oak Ridge borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Oak Ridge. only 1 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 Oak Ridge in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Oak Ridge appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 370596, 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 Oak Ridge figures?
No, and they are labelled so.

They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Oak Ridge.
Is zoning published for Oak Ridge?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
