Maury County, not Columbia
Maury County context, not Columbia figures
These are Maury County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Columbia measurements.
- Establishments in Maury County2,069
- Employment at those establishments, Maury County33,755
- Covered employment, Maury County42,247
- Average annual pay, Maury County$62,782
- Average weekly wage, Maury County$1,207
- Housing units permitted, Maury County1,672
- Of those, single family, Maury County1,582
- County product, 2024, Maury County$7,114,993,000
- County product change over the prior year, Maury County9.2 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Maury County$83,543
Every figure in this section is published for Maury County as a whole and is not a measurement of Columbia. 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 Columbia businesses?
47 7(a) approvals totalling $29.8 m, across 20 lenders, median approval $150,000, plus 10 504 approvals worth $11.2 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Columbia, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Columbia borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Columbia. only 7 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 Columbia figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Maury 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 Columbia.
Is zoning published for Columbia?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
