What county is Dallas in?
Dallas lies in more than one. By area it is 90.0 percent in Dallas County, 5.4 percent in Rockwall County, 3.2 percent in Collin County. This page sits under Dallas County because that county holds the largest share. The split is measured from the Census boundary of the place against the county boundaries.

These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Dallas, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Dallas borrowers get paid back?
Of the 322 loans that have reached a final outcome, 296 were paid in full and 26 charged off, a charge off rate of 8.1 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Dallas in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Dallas appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as Dallas, city of, community 480171, carrying Community Rating System class 3, which is a premium discount for exceeding the program minimum. Whether a specific parcel sits in a mapped special flood hazard area is an address level question the platform answers.
Are the county figures on this page Dallas figures?
No, and they are labeled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Dallas 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 Dallas.
Is zoning published for Dallas?
No. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
