Beaufort County, not Fripp Island
Beaufort County context, not Fripp Island figures
These are Beaufort County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Fripp Island measurements.
- Establishments in Beaufort County6,087
- Employment at those establishments, Beaufort County59,121
- Covered employment, Beaufort County71,044
- Average annual pay, Beaufort County$54,768
- Average weekly wage, Beaufort County$1,053
- Housing units permitted, Beaufort County1,638
- Of those, single family, Beaufort County1,030

- County product change over the prior year, Beaufort County6.2 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Beaufort County$169,823
Every figure in this section is published for Beaufort County as a whole and is not a measurement of Fripp Island. 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.
- This place is not listed as a community in the FEMA Community Status Book, so no NFIP participation or CRS class is shown.
- No median gross rent is published for this place.
- 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.
