Do SBA loans to Pittsburgh borrowers get paid back?
Of the 139 loans that have reached a final outcome, 125 were paid in full and 14 charged off, a charge off rate of 10.1 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Pittsburgh in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Pittsburgh appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as Pittsburgh, city of, community 420063, 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 Pittsburgh figures?
No, and they are labeled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Allegheny 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 Pittsburgh.
Is zoning published for Pittsburgh?
No. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
