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

- Employment at those establishments, Nash County38,350
- Covered employment, Nash County39,498
- Average annual pay, Nash County$54,440

- County product change over the prior year, Nash County6.2 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Nash County$50,343
Every figure in this section is published for Nash County as a whole and is not a measurement of Dortches. 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.
- No SBA approvals are recorded to a borrower address in this place in either FOIA release.
- 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.

Is Dortches in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Dortches appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 370652, 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.

No, and they are labelled so.

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