Washington County, not Roper
Washington County context, not Roper figures
These are Washington County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Roper measurements.
- Establishments in Washington County221
- Employment at those establishments, Washington County2,527
- Covered employment, Washington County3,099
- Average annual pay, Washington County$49,932
- Average weekly wage, Washington County$960
- Housing units permitted, Washington County2
- Of those, single family, Washington County2
- County product, 2024, Washington County$355,690,000
- County product change over the prior year, Washington County3.4 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Washington County$44,969
Every figure in this section is published for Washington County as a whole and is not a measurement of Roper. 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
Roper questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Roper, North Carolina?
384, in 233 households. Roper town covers 0.86 square miles of land, which is 448 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Roper in?
Washington 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 Roper?
$22,819. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $71,400. Median gross rent is $643 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Roper businesses?
3 7(a) approvals totalling $497,000, across 2 lenders, median approval $44,600. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Roper, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Roper borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Roper. 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 Roper in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Roper appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 370421, 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 Roper figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Washington 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 Roper.
Is zoning published for Roper?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
