Horry County, not Conway
Horry County context, not Conway figures
These are Horry County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Conway measurements.
- Establishments in Horry County10,550
- Employment at those establishments, Horry County123,792
- Covered employment, Horry County144,489
- Average annual pay, Horry County$48,046
- Average weekly wage, Horry County$924
- Housing units permitted, Horry County7,331
- Of those, single family, Horry County7,269
- County product, 2024, Horry County$22,774,481,000
- County product change over the prior year, Horry County7.3 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Horry County$86,199
Every figure in this section is published for Horry County as a whole and is not a measurement of Conway. 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.

These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Conway, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Conway borrowers get paid back?

Are the county figures on this page Conway figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Horry 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 Conway.
Is zoning published for Conway?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
