Wilson County, not Elm City
Wilson County context, not Elm City figures
These are Wilson County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Elm City measurements.
- Establishments in Wilson County1,818
- Employment at those establishments, Wilson County32,253
- Covered employment, Wilson County35,117
- Average annual pay, Wilson County$54,643
- Average weekly wage, Wilson County$1,051
- Housing units permitted, Wilson County580

- County product, 2024, Wilson County$5,166,194,000
- County product change over the prior year, Wilson County4.7 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Wilson County$47,465
Every figure in this section is published for Wilson County as a whole and is not a measurement of Elm City. 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.
- No SBA approvals are recorded to a borrower address in this place in either FOIA release.
- 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
Elm City questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Elm City, North Carolina?

What county is Elm City in?
Elm City lies in more than one. By area it is 97.3 percent in Wilson County, 2.7 percent in Nash County. This page sits under Wilson 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 Elm City?
$36,150. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $109,300. Median gross rent is $859 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
Is Elm City in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Elm City appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 370521, 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 Elm City figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Wilson 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 Elm City.
Is zoning published for Elm City?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
