Do SBA loans to Yakima borrowers get paid back?
Of the 30 loans that have reached a final outcome, 27 were paid in full and 3 charged off, a charge off rate of 10.0 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Yakima in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Yakima appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as Yakima, city of, community 530311, with no Community Rating System class, so no CRS discount applies. 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 Yakima figures?
No, and they are labeled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Yakima 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 Yakima.
Is zoning published for Yakima?
No. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
