Sampson County, not Clinton
Sampson County context, not Clinton figures
These are Sampson County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Clinton measurements.
- Establishments in Sampson County1,014
- Employment at those establishments, Sampson County12,611
- Covered employment, Sampson County17,090
- Average annual pay, Sampson County$49,873
- Average weekly wage, Sampson County$959
- Housing units permitted, Sampson County189
- Of those, single family, Sampson County189
- County product, 2024, Sampson County$2,548,224,000
- County product change over the prior year, Sampson County9.0 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Sampson County$44,167
Every figure in this section is published for Sampson County as a whole and is not a measurement of Clinton. 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
Clinton questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Clinton, North Carolina?
8,304, in 2,987 households. Clinton city covers 7.69 square miles of land, which is 1,079 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Clinton in?
Sampson County, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.
What is the median household income in Clinton?
$44,953. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $212,000. Median gross rent is $759 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Clinton businesses?
17 7(a) approvals totalling $16.7 m, across 11 lenders, median approval $250,000, plus 1 504 approvals worth $3.8 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Clinton, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Clinton borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Clinton. 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 Clinton in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Clinton appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 370263, carrying Community Rating System class 8, which is a premium discount for exceeding the programme minimum. 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 Clinton figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Sampson 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 Clinton.
Is zoning published for Clinton?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
