Wake County, not Zebulon
Wake County context, not Zebulon figures
These are Wake County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Zebulon measurements.
- Establishments in Wake County33,873
- Employment at those establishments, Wake County556,250
- Covered employment, Wake County653,153
- Average annual pay, Wake County$76,807
- Average weekly wage, Wake County$1,477
- Housing units permitted, Wake County15,248
- Of those, single family, Wake County9,620
- County product, 2024, Wake County$128,428,188,000
- County product change over the prior year, Wake County6.5 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Wake County$88,162
Every figure in this section is published for Wake County as a whole and is not a measurement of Zebulon. 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.

How much SBA lending goes to Zebulon businesses?
12 7(a) approvals totalling $6.5 m, across 7 lenders, median approval $255,000, plus 4 504 approvals worth $4.0 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Zebulon, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Zebulon borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Zebulon. 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 Zebulon in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Zebulon appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 370246, 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 Zebulon figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Wake 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 Zebulon.
Is zoning published for Zebulon?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
