Richland County, not Irmo
Richland County context, not Irmo figures
These are Richland County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Irmo measurements.
- Establishments in Richland County9,426
- Employment at those establishments, Richland County169,733
- Covered employment, Richland County227,771
- Average annual pay, Richland County$62,784
- Average weekly wage, Richland County$1,207
- Housing units permitted, Richland County3,469
- Of those, single family, Richland County2,154
- County product, 2024, Richland County$37,437,887,000
- County product change over the prior year, Richland County7.8 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Richland County$56,848
Every figure in this section is published for Richland County as a whole and is not a measurement of Irmo. 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.

$80,489. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $203,400. Median gross rent is $1,477 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Irmo businesses?
32 7(a) approvals totalling $8.1 m, across 14 lenders, median approval $150,000, plus 15 504 approvals worth $6.8 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Irmo, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Irmo borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Irmo. only 3 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 Irmo figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Richland 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 Irmo.
Is zoning published for Irmo?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
