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

- Employment at those establishments, Stokes County5,767
- Covered employment, Stokes County7,708
- Average annual pay, Stokes County$41,766
- Average weekly wage, Stokes County$803

- County product, 2024, Stokes County$1,756,194,000
- County product change over the prior year, Stokes County6.7 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Stokes County$53,801
Every figure in this section is published for Stokes County as a whole and is not a measurement of King. 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
King questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in King, North Carolina?
7,408, in 3,216 households. King city covers 6.18 square miles of land, which is 1,199 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is King in?
King lies in more than one. By area it is 85.8 percent in Stokes County, 14.2 percent in Forsyth County. This page sits under Stokes 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 King?
$57,817. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $238,200. Median gross rent is $895 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to King businesses?
15 7(a) approvals totalling $6.6 m, across 9 lenders, median approval $261,000. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in King, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to King borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for King. only 3 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 King in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. King appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 370458, 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 King figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Stokes 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 King.
Is zoning published for King?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
