Do SBA loans to Cambridge borrowers get paid back?

Is Cambridge in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Cambridge appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as Cambridge, village of, community 550080, 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 Cambridge figures?
No, and they are labeled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Dane 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 Cambridge.
Is zoning published for Cambridge?
No. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
