Robeson County, not Maxton
Robeson County context, not Maxton figures
These are Robeson County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Maxton measurements.
- Establishments in Robeson County1,787
- Employment at those establishments, Robeson County31,788
- Covered employment, Robeson County38,484
- Average annual pay, Robeson County$45,957
- Average weekly wage, Robeson County$884
- Housing units permitted, Robeson County337
- Of those, single family, Robeson County335
- County product, 2024, Robeson County$5,044,701,000
- County product change over the prior year, Robeson County2.6 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Robeson County$36,190
Every figure in this section is published for Robeson County as a whole and is not a measurement of Maxton. 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
Maxton questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Maxton, North Carolina?
2,330, in 910 households. Maxton town covers 2.70 square miles of land, which is 864 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Maxton in?
Maxton lies in more than one. By area it is 84.7 percent in Robeson County, 15.3 percent in Scotland County. This page sits under Robeson 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 Maxton?
$22,667. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $83,200. Median gross rent is $619 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Maxton businesses?
4 7(a) approvals totalling $5.9 m, across 3 lenders, median approval $1,338,000. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Maxton, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Maxton borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Maxton. only 2 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 Maxton in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Maxton appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 370587, 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 Maxton figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Robeson 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 Maxton.
Is zoning published for Maxton?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
