Lexington County, not Cayce
Lexington County context, not Cayce figures
These are Lexington County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Cayce measurements.
- Establishments in Lexington County7,391
- Employment at those establishments, Lexington County117,298
- Covered employment, Lexington County132,596
- Average annual pay, Lexington County$56,005
- Average weekly wage, Lexington County$1,077
- Housing units permitted, Lexington County1,758
- Of those, single family, Lexington County1,756
- County product, 2024, Lexington County$19,752,180,000
- County product change over the prior year, Lexington County7.2 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Lexington County$65,254
Every figure in this section is published for Lexington County as a whole and is not a measurement of Cayce. 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.

How much SBA lending goes to Cayce businesses?
7 7(a) approvals totalling $3.3 m, across 4 lenders, median approval $238,500, plus 4 504 approvals worth $1.5 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Cayce, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Cayce borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Cayce. only 2 resolved loans, too few to publish a rate, and a percentage over that few outcomes would move several points on a single loan. The counts are shown instead.
Are the county figures on this page Cayce figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Lexington 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 Cayce.
Is zoning published for Cayce?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
