What county is Auburn in?
Auburn lies in more than one. By area it is 94.5 percent in King County, 5.5 percent in Pierce County. This page sits under King 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 Auburn, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Auburn borrowers get paid back?
Of the 44 loans that have reached a final outcome, 43 were paid in full and 1 charged off, a charge off rate of 2.3 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Auburn in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Auburn appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as Auburn, city of, community 530073, carrying Community Rating System class 5, 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 Auburn figures?
No, and they are labeled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for King 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 Auburn.
Is zoning published for Auburn?
No. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
