Greenville County, not Greenville
Greenville County context, not Greenville figures
These are Greenville County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Greenville measurements.
- Establishments in Greenville County15,493
- Employment at those establishments, Greenville County266,065
- Covered employment, Greenville County296,981
- Average annual pay, Greenville County$63,216
- Average weekly wage, Greenville County$1,216
- Housing units permitted, Greenville County5,575
- Of those, single family, Greenville County4,993
- County product, 2024, Greenville County$48,737,518,000
- County product change over the prior year, Greenville County7.0 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Greenville County$79,311
Every figure in this section is published for Greenville County as a whole and is not a measurement of Greenville. 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.
- This place is not listed as a community in the FEMA Community Status Book, so no NFIP participation or CRS class is shown.
- 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.

411 7(a) approvals totalling $252.0 m, across 72 lenders, median approval $300,000, plus 73 504 approvals worth $62.1 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Greenville, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Greenville borrowers get paid back?
Of the 91 loans that have reached a final outcome, 83 were paid in full and 8 charged off, a charge off rate of 8.8 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Are the county figures on this page Greenville figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Greenville 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 Greenville.
Is zoning published for Greenville?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
